About me and my passion for cars

Daniel K Munroe is the name I write (action/adventure fiction) under. I discovered my passion for cars at about age twelve and have been a hopeless case ever since. Fortunately, I have a wonderful and understanding partner. However, we do sometimes institute a "car-less day" initiative whereby I'm not allowed to talk about cars for one full day per week. It's fun ... but I'm generally pretty quiet on those days! My big news is the publishing of my action adventure novel "Super Duty", a story featuring an attempt to secretly reclaim a stolen 1973 Pontiac Trans Am Super Duty. Go to the publisher's website www.tightwriters.com to see an excerpt or to order your copy. The book is initially only available to order online, and is posted out in paperback format. While it is aimed squarely at car lovers, it works for "non-car" people too. There is very little fiction written for car people, so please feel free to spread word of this book and the publisher's website. Enjoy!

My first car

My dream car

The Corvette I finally own. I've wanted a 1974 Stingray 454 Coupe since ... 1975. I finally bought one at the end of 2005. Yes, I'm a very patient man!

Otherwise .. a Lamborghini Gallardo. Drove one once, and I am now spoiled for life!
