Dann Wallis is a decorated veteran of the Korean War and a
retired senior business executive. A native of Iowa now making
his home in Niceville, FL, he graduated from Iowa State
University, later doing graduate work in business at the
University of California-Riverside. He continues to conduct a
private, business consulting practice and occasionally writes
and delivers seminars on Ethics at Okaloosa-Walton College,
where he serves as Chairman of the Institute for Senior
Professionals.
"Burnin' Daylight!" is his first novel: however two of his earlier
poems were published by the American Poetry Anthology for
which he received the Golden Poet Award. Recently, a short
story he wrote as a memorial to his high school mathematics
teacher, "A Tribute to the Lady With The Blue Hair and the
Sensible Shoes", was published by the Democrat Publishing
Company. He has also authored numerous business articles
during his distinguished professional career.
It was falling heir to the 1862 Springfield rifle that his
great-grandfather John Wallis, a private in Company E of the
19th Iowa Volunteer Regiment, carried in the Civil War that
launched Mr. Wallis' interest into this fascinating and important
period of our nation's history. John Wallis served in the
Western campaigns of General Grant, and was later a
prisoner-of-war confined at Camp Ford in Tyler, Texas. As part
of his preparation, the author has toured the Civil War sites
where his novel leads the reader.
