Dan Padavona is the mystery and thriller author of The Wolf Lake series, The Logan and Scarlett serial killer book series, The Darkwater Cove series, The Scarlett Bell series, and The Dark Vanishing series.

Several of his Kindle books, paperbacks, and audiobooks rank in the top 20 among Amazon’s mystery and thriller categories.

The first of his popular Dark Vanishing series was a finalist for eFestival of Word’s 2016 Indie Novel of the Year award.

Bram Stoker Award winner and legendary author Brian Keene called Dan “one of the most exciting writers to burst upon the scene in quite some time.”

A mystery and thriller author from Cortland, New York, Dan grew up just outside the beautiful Finger Lakes.

After earning degrees from SUNY Cortland and Oneonta, he became a weather forecaster for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

While Dan is still a passionate storm chaser, he fell in love with writing, and in 2014, he published his first book, Storberry.

Within just three years, Dan had authored nine additional novels, all within the thriller, mystery, and horror genres. He believes everyone should have access to a good page-turner, so his works are currently being produced for audiobooks and foreign translations.

Dan is a proud member of the International Thriller Writers Organization and a supporter of Scares That Care.
