About
Scott D. Danielson
I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1968 and currently live in a small town in Southeastern Idaho. I am Catholic, while my wife and two kids are LDS (Mormon). I have a BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Arizona (1991), and I work as a Control Systems Engineer for a manufacturing plant in town. I mainly use Allen-Bradley PLCs for the control systems I’ve designed and implemented over the years I’ve been doing this kind of thing (since around 1992). I double (triple?) as the company’s Network Administrator (Microsoft Server 2003) and application programmer (Visual Basic as a front end to Access, mostly, with some HTML and ASP).
On the writing end, I consider myself lucky to have attended Orson Scott Card’s Literary Boot Camp in 2005. I can’t recommend the experience enough. My publications before and since:
 |
For two years (2001 – 2002) I wrote a monthly column for SF Site on science fiction and fantasy audiobooks. |
 |
Through the SFSite column and the magic of the internet, I met Jesse Willis and together we created SFFaudio, a website dedicated to news, reviews, and commentary on all kinds science fiction and fantasy audio. I’m currently the Reviews Editor there, and I still do the website tweaking. |
 |
I wrote audiobook reviews for Audiofile Magazine from late 2002 – 2009. |
 |
In 2006, my first professional fiction sale was published in Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show. The story is called “Adrift”, and appears in the March 2006 issue. |
 |
In late 2007, I started a column called Audiobook Fix for The Fix Online: Short Fiction Review, which focuses on short science fiction and fantasy fiction audiobooks. (This site no longer exists.) |
