Dan Perkins
Registered Financial Adviser and Author

Dan Perkins has been managing money for almost 40 years. He started his career in the financial service industry as an account executive in the Merrill Lynch, Columbus, Ohio office. Now 40 years later Dan is using his investment analytical skills in writing his first Thriller, “The Brotherhood of the Red Nile, A Terrorist Perspective.” He still manages money on a full time basis but tries to write in the evening and on weekends. Incredibly Journey as a winter resident of Sanibel Dan has taken several courses offered at the BIG Arts Center on Sanibel.

In November 2011 Dan Perkins saw a flyer from the BIG Arts Center announcing their winter 2012 classes. One class caught his eye, a course on creative writing, Mysteries and Thrillers. So, intrigued by the title he signed up. The first class was February sixth, 2012 and the instructor was Nancy Daversa, an accomplished author in her own right. On the first day of the class she told the students that they would find out ifthey could write in two weeks. Mr. Perkins thought, “If I can’t write I only loose two weeks of golf, not a big risk.” Nancy informed the class that this was her fourth time teaching the class and somebody was published in all three previous classes, now she is four for four with the publishing of Mr. Perkinsbook, The Brotherhood of the Red Nile, a Terrorist Perspective. Mister Perkins found out that he could write, in fact he finished his first novel, The Brotherhood of the Red Nile, A Terrorist Perspective, in 90 days. He found an editor and a publisher so that the book was published on December14, 2012 a little over 9 months from the first keystroke. One review said of the book, “This book is as current as today’s headlines but scarier than tomorrows.” The Brotherhood of the Red Nile, A Terrorist Perspective is the fictional account of a new terrorist group formed in Syria that strikes an alliance with the Iranian Nuclear program to rebuild two old Soviet Union suitcase dirty bombs and attack the United States with the more powerful weapons. The book is available at local, bookstores on the island, or Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com, and it is offered in paperback, hardcover and e-book for the Kindle and the Nook. Mr. Perkins story could stop there but it didn’t. This book is full of lots of twists and turns and many times you will say, “I didn’t see that coming.” In the Forward Dan says, “If this isn’t one of the best thrillers you have read in the last 5 years he will be surprised.” You can go to the website www.danperkins.guru and download the first 50 pages to wet.
