Danyl A. Doyle is a fiction writer who cannot be pigeon-holed into one genre, mostly because there doesn’t seem to be any pigeons willing to fly his creativity around. He tends toward romantic adventures, though he dabbles in harrowing war thrillers, somber literary dramas, flights of fantasy with flicks of magic, and even a mystery, all with a touch of Mark Twain-type humor—a literary habit that leaves booksellers profoundly confused about which pigeon nest he belongs in.

​

Born with a restless spirit, he once called the State of Washington, then New Zealand home before a pigeon air-lifted him to the Colorado Rocky Mountains, presumably to find an altitude that matches his imagination. Along the way, he stubbornly ignored his own learning disabilities to become, of all things, an English teacher, a Ph.D. psychologist, and a businessman—proving that if you collect enough titles, people eventually stop asking what you do for a living.

​

When not writing, Dr. Doyle is a professional speaker and guitarist who roams around Colorado’s Front Range, playing original tunes inspired by scenes in his books. This allows him to perform the rare miracle of inspiring people to buy a book just to understand the songs. Tireless self-promotion has blessed him with too many Facebook profiles alongside a healthy presence on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, etcetera ad nauseam, ensuring that no corner of the digital earth is entirely safe from his wit. Some thirty literary magazines have also published his shorter works, having apparently run out of other things to print.

​

He is the author of two published novels, At The End of Hardship Comes Happiness and For a Woman's Love—both gripping true adventures set against the chaos of war. The Ghost Raft will soon be loosed upon the world by a small traditional publisher. It tells the mysterious story of a woman cursed to navigate Utah’s Green River for eternity—a fate Danyl considers only slightly more grueling than trying to manage social media accounts.
