Dana Precious

Hi all, this is Dana. I live in Marina Del Rey, California with my son, Gus and my dog, Thompson. I grew up in N. Muskegon, Michigan. I've has worked at several film studios including Sony Pictures, 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios as an advertising executive. I've been writing at a little joint in Santa Monica, CA. since I was 23 years old. It used to be called The Novel Cafe and now is called 212 Pier. At 212 Pier bookshelves line the walls and rickety tables are kept steady by sticking magazines under table legs. More frequently than one would hope -- a water pipe breaks and the ceiling has a minor cave-in on top of the cash register. But the food is very good. And the atmosphere is just right. A lot of writers hang out here. We will buy a latte and be free to spend the day at 'our table'. We know who's table is who's. And if a newcomer comes and takes 'our table' we scowl. I've written five books at this place. Two of which are published. One of which deserves to be. And another two that should probably be tossed. I hope you enjoy my books, Murder In Malibu and Born Under A Lucky Moon. Cheers!Dana
