DAN SKELTON - AUTHOR, POET, DIRECTOR

“This is what I do; if you like it…good.  If you don’t like it…well…this is what I do.”

~ Dr. Dan Skelton

Normally you will find Dr. Dan Skelton somewhere between Conway and Beebe, Arkansas where he teaches both English and theater appreciation.  Poet, actor, writer, professor, he always has something creative going on in his head. When he's not teaching or writing, he's a board member and play director for the Conway Community Arts Center.  And this is retirement?  I think not.  Skelton has no desire to let moss grow anywhere near his mind.

Skelton is the author of three novels:  Boojum, Out of Innocence and The Human Element.   He is working on his next book entitled Renascence, a Christian fantasy.

Skelton reads incessantly.  He also loves western and Civil War history as well as spiritual topics. 

He lives in a little corner of Conway with his daughter, two grandchildren, three dogs and a cat.

Skelton's work is represented by
MPL Creative Resources.

The final edits to RENASCENCE, Dan Skelton's new book, are done.  Keep in touch at DrDanSkelton for news on the lucky publishing company that publishes it.  You'll want a copy -- or two or three.

Skelton's next offering is a Christian-based fantasy told through the eyes of a teenage drug addict.  It's called Renascence after the Edna St. Vincent Millay poem by the same title.

Skelton's previous work includes Boojum, a graphic horror story, Out of Innocence, A coming of age tale and The Human Element, a story about small-town hero worship.  His Amazon book review ratings are through the roof!
