Daniel Santos is a twenty-one-year young adult author, born in Manila, Philippines, and immigrated to the U.S. at a very young age.

Daniel’s writing usually consists of fantasy fiction that delves into the paranormal. He likes to focus on characterization and letting the reader get to know his characters. He genuinely believes that we often learn more from fictional characters than we do from real ones. Life is Inevitable is his debut novel.
