A retired Aviation Safety Inspector for the FAA, Daniel V. Meier, Jr. has always had a passion for writing. In addition to Bloodroot, he is the author of the award-winning historical novel, The Dung Beetles of Liberia, released in September 2019, and the literary novel, No Birds Sing Here, released in March 2021, both by BQB Publishing. Dan and his wife live in Owings, Maryland, and when he's not writing, they spend their summers sailing on the Chesapeake Bay.
