Welcome to DanMarvin.net! This web site is a little about me, and a lot about my books Briefs for the Reading Room and Thomas Granger.
Let’s face it, life gets busier every day. There simply isn’t enough time in the day to read everything you’d like to. In much the same way that microwave ovens revolutionized cooking dinner, Briefs for the Reading Room revolutionizes the time you spend after dinner. Now you can fill this otherwise wasted time with humor, suspense, intrigue, and factoids. In Briefs, you will discover 102 ‘micro-novels’, 1 to 2 page stories that pack in a whole day’s RDA of fiction. You can preview Briefs by clicking here. Better yet, you can buy Briefs by clicking here. If you’re into your kindle, this is the link for you.
I have another book you know. Its name is Granger. Thomas Granger. It’s a
lovely book with lovely characters doing things that you wouldn’t expect them too. Fine, I’ll give you a plot summary. Rusty Rogers is a college Freshman at Fabian University. His life is plodding along benignly enough until he meets Thomas Granger, the enigmatic heir to the Granger paper fortune. Thomas convinces him to pledge a fraternity, introduces him to a girl he likes… and involves him in the murder of one of their professors. Could Thomas be the culprit? Will Rusty survive Hell Week? Well, no and yes, but you didn’t hear that from me. Go here to buy it! You Kindle types can go here.
This web page will show you how you can improve your life through the miracle of micro-fiction. It will fill your need for a blog about how Briefs came to be, and it will give you a preview of the sequel, A Change of Briefs for the Reading Room. Click around, see what’s here, and offer up any comments you may have. I’m delighted you stopped by, thanks for taking the plunge! Here’s hoping you will be a regular reader…
Because everyone seems to love reviews, I offer up for you this one from the LLBookReview:

Hi Dan,
Got your message from linkedin and I enjoyed your website. The blogspot radio show I plan to launch in May. I will provide more details this month. I think it would be fun to interview you.
Best,
Laura

We watched the interview on your Blog.

Norm, thanks for your concern. Although my pictures probably make me look like a vapid blonde girl in my 20′s, I’m actually a brunette. I’m glad you enjoyed the interview, in a next one I’ll give a shout out to all my Texas homies…
Love the blog! I also responded to your LinkedIn query about self-publishing. So, you’re a micro-fiction fan, are you? Have you heard of Quill Pill (www.quillpill.com)? That’s where I publish mine!
Margy
Congrats on the interview! I cross posted it to LLBR!
Dear Dan,
Is it okay if we use your answer(s) to the discussion ‘What does it mean to be successful?’ in an e-book? Of course, your name and website will be included in this e-book, unless you choose not to do that. Glad to hear from you!
Greetings,
Roeland Suylen
Fine with me Roeland, thanks for the offer!
Sir,
Having finished your “Thomas Granger”, I wanted to take this opportunity to share my appreciation of the work with you and your loyal following.
I understand that “Briefs” is the more popular of the two works, and that numerous copies are already in circulation. However, “Granger” is by far the superior.
The finely turned phrases, illuminating the struggle between academia and self-realization, are full of pithy observation. Indeed, “Granger” can hardly be said to be pith-poor.
Best of luck.
Dan, thanks for your comments and suggestions on my writing excerpt.
Wow Dan….look at you go! And on tv! A celebrity now…and I knew you when. I’m so proud of you.
Dan, Things are going well. Hope to see the next book. Will they eat bacon in the end? I need contact info on you. Gord.
Gord? what kind of weirdo name is that? and this Gord character doesn’t appear to be too bright. Asking for contact info? Didn’t you just contact him? Hope your well Dan the Man! Heister
I found the look inside your Briefs to be very entertaining. Funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time — in a good way! More feedback at your LinkedIn post.
