Daniel
Mitchell
Seduced by the bookmobile at an early age, Daniel Mitchell grew up in a family composed equally of outdoorsmen and teachers. He worked a variety of jobs, from lifeguard stands to loading docks, once stage-managed the Oklahoma Shakespearean Festival, and spent some time in the oilfield building pipelines and perfecting the art of properly chosen expletives.
For the last few decades, he’s been a public school teacher of English and Science in Oklahoma, Australia, and Alaska.
Happily married and the father of two children as shockingly attractive and intelligent as their mother, he holds a BA in English and an MFA in Fiction.
His debut novel, A Portion For Foxes, describes the struggle for sanity and survival of a teen hiding in a cave after witnessing the murder of his best friend. Fearing for his life as the only witness of the crime, he discovers a grisly connection between himself and the reclusive man living across the river, as they work together to overcome the men who have destroyed both their lives.
