About

Daniel Trey is a handyman by day. He fixes locks, engines and anything with moving parts, and writes in the evenings and on weekends. He grew up on classic science fiction, Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie, and his books mix both: a mystery to solve and a little magic in the machinery.

His books are clean reads for teens and adults.
