Dan Michaelson

Dan Michaelson is a fantasy author who writes primarily in collaboration with fellow independent fantasy writer D.K. Holmberg. Their joint work centers on dragon-focused epic fantasy, including the Cycle of Dragons and Dragon's Dawn series, which follow young protagonists bonding with and training alongside dragons in richly built secondary worlds. They have also collaborated on the Beastcaller Chronicles and the Alchemist series, continuing a shared interest in magic systems built around a close, often telepathic, bond between a human protagonist and a nonhuman ally. The Michaelson-Holmberg partnership has produced a large body of fast-paced, series-driven epic fantasy aimed at readers of serialized adventure fiction, with new installments continuing to appear at a steady pace.
