Event/Date:  Local Author Dain White at Neill Public Library November 5^th, 6pm

In celebration of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) in November, local author Dain White will present at Neill Public Library on the subject “The words less written: writing the story you want to read."  The program will begin at 6pm in the Hecht Meeting Room.

Dain White is a dreamer with an addiction to writing and self improvement who daylights as a web development manager at the University of Idaho. Dain has self-published three full length novels so far, and is working on his fourth. 

Dain writes smart, engaging, witty and at times deeply poignant hard science fiction space opera, with a strong emphasis on story and characters. Dain's novels have been well reviewed and well received. 

Dain's writing has been favorably compared to early Heinlein, Asimov, Clarke, and E.E. "Doc" Smith, and is best described as classic, classy science fiction, told in the grand old style of the early 20th century, the kind of stories your grandparents might have enjoyed as kids - the classic science fiction serial, the old “rocket tubes to Mars” types of stories with dashing heroes, dastardly space pirates, and high adventure. 

For Dain, the story is everything. He's a firm believer in crafting a balance between characters, technology grounded firmly in actual science, math, engineering and physics, and in general telling a story that is not only thoroughly entertaining, but makes sense. The perfect story for him is one that his readers will want to share with their friends, family, and even their most bitter enemies.
