Dale Ivan Smith got into trouble in grade school for sneaking off to the library during class, so naturally after earning a history degree he became a librarian, and now works for Oregon's largest public library system.
He is a life-long fantasy and science fiction fan.
His stories have appeared in various online magazines. His collaboration with K.C. Ball, “Running Tangent,” was nominated for the Pushcart Prize in 2015.
Currently he is working on his urban fantasy series, “The Empowered." The first two books, Empowered: Agent and Empowered: Traitor, are available now, along with the prequel, Renegade. Book 3, Empowered: Outlaw, is due out in October.
