Several of my novels are considered historical fiction. When I was young, I used to hate history. Years later, I
discovered some non-fiction history books that read like page-turning novels. They made history come alive.
Reading became a joy.

That's my goal now, whether I'm writing historical or contemporary novels. I hope my readers get inspired
and thoroughly enjoy themselves, while we also explore some of the themes in life that matter most.

Last summer, Dan's publisher, Revell, signed him and bestselling author, Dr. Gary
Smalley, to write a 4-book fiction series together. Over the next few months, they
developed the storyline and main characters for the series.

The idea for this project began after Gary and his wife read some of Dan's books. Gary
had collaborated before on a series with bestselling author Karen Kingsbury. He was
interested in doing a new series with another author whose writing affected him the
same way.

"My wife Norma and I fell in love with Dan's writing after reading his first two novels. I was
immediately drawn in by the compelling characters he creates and his relationally-driven
storylines. I remember tears falling and thinking, 'Yes, he's falling in love with her.' His
books grab your heart and don't let you go until the last page. I look forward to reading every
novel Dan writes."

Best-selling author and speaker
on Family Relationships

Gerard Warner was not only a literary giant whose suspense novels
sold in the millions, he was also a man devoted to his family,
especially his wife of nearly 60 years. When he dies he leaves his
Charleston estate to his grandson, Michael, an aspiring writer
himself. Michael settles in to write his own first novel and discovers
an unpublished manuscript his grandfather had written, something
he'd kept hidden from everyone but clearly intended Michael to
find. Michael begins to read an exciting tale about Nazi spies and
sabotage, but something about this story is different from all of
Gerard Warner's other books. It's actually a love story.

As Michael delves deeper into the story he discovers something that
has the power to change not only his future but his past as well.
Laced with suspense and intrigue, The Discovery is a richly woven
novel that explores the incredible sacrifices that must be made to
forge the love of a lifetime. Author Dan Walsh delivers yet another
unique and heartfelt story that will stick with readers long after they
turn the last page.

"Thrilling, romantic, and intriguing. In The Discovery, Dan Walsh takes a
fascinating sidebar of World War II history and crafts a suspenseful,
beautifully written, and deeply satisfying story. This is his best novel yet!"

-- Sarah Sundin, award-winning author of the Wings of Glory
series

"The Discovery is a masterful bit of storytelling. It is, above all else, a love story for the ages, one of sacrifice and devotion
that will leave readers with a renewed passion for their loved ones. As I neared the end of the book I let out a huge sigh and
experienced a wonderful sense of wellbeing and happiness. Dan Walsh did it again: He touched my heart."

--The New York Journal of Books (John M. Wills)

"You don't often find a novel that appeals to men and women alike--but Walsh delivers one here! Taking you on a
scavenger hunt leading to mystery, romance and intrigue, this book-within-a-book will tug at your heart and keep you in
suspense. You'll get so caught up in the WW2 thriller you'll forget it's also a contemporary story. A feel-good read that
commemorates the courage, integrity and sacrifice of the 'greatest generation.'"
