Danny Birt
Danny Birt was born about three decades ago in Washington State to Irish and Californian parents, and since then he has lived in Idaho, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Hawaii, Virginia, and North Carolina. He attended New Mexico Military Institute in the small town of Roswell, NM for his high school and junior college years, then pulled a one-eighty and went to a liberal arts college, Loyola University New Orleans, for his next two college degrees in music therapy and psychology. Most recently, he graduated from Shenandoah University with his Master's Degree in Music Therapy.
Danny has played the roles of author and editor in science fiction, fantasy, and professional publications such as The Raintown Review, Strange Worlds of Lunacy, Flashing Swords Magazine, and Musica Ficta. He is also an editor for Cyberwizard Productions. His fantasy series “The Laurian Pentology” is being published through Ancient Tomes Press, with the books "Ending an Ending" and "Beginning" already in print.
In addition to literary publication, Danny composes classical and filk music, such as his nonstop hour-long piano solo “Narcoleptic Pianist,” and the ever-peculiar album “Warped Children’s Songs.”
Danny has now settled in Winston-Salem, NC where he employs his talents as a music therapist at Forsyth Medical Center. In his spare time, Danny's hobby is finding new hobbies.
