Dan Ford

Dan Ford was born in Hancock New York in November of 1937. He served in the U.S. Air Force as a meteorological observer from 1954 through 1958 and traveled extensively throughout the Far East and South Pacific during that period. In 1960, Pan American World Airways employed him for the next 10 years in the Bahamas, also as a meteorologist, on the U.S. Atlantic Missile Range during the early years of the U.S. Space Program. It was during that time, in 1962 that he met his life partner, Paul and they have been supporting each other’s dreams since that time. They founded a landscape design and contracting firm in the Bahamas and continued with that endeavor to this day in Vero Beach, Florida.

In early 1960, Dan traveled to Ireland and visited the Blarney Castle. During that visit, two robust, probably drunk Irishmen held Dan by his feet over the top of the Blarney Castle parapet and told him to kiss the Blarney Stone. He did, and soon after that he started talking incessantly and felt the need to put his thoughts on paper. He had been warned about this, but paid no attention, which had always been a particular character flaw and one which is often observed in the Irish American genetic code.

In the ensuing years, Dan wrote a lot and published naught until he reached his twilight years and figured he better get on the stick. He wrote and published Gateways To Your Garden, which is a full color “What To” rather than a “How To” non-fiction book on landscape design and available within Amazon Books. Then he decided to create a fiction novel about exceptionally fine looking people doing interesting and exciting things to and with each other in alluring locales. This inspirational thriller is called The Evolution of Adam and has a spiritually philosophical structure that serves to construct a connection between all aspects of the storyline as well as inspiring and uniting the books characters. This spiritual philosophy represents the sum total of the authors mental acquisitions acquired during his years here on Earth. This novel is also available within the Amazon Books literary empire.

Now that Dan Ford has gotten this novel out of his system, he has decided that he needs to stick around for a while and perhaps squeeze more stories out of his consciousness. But that will depend on the reading tolerances of those who decide to give his books a try.

For those of you who have read this far, thank you for doing so. I apologize for writing about me as though I was not I, but that is what writers do. It is weird though.
