Daniel J MarkowitzDaniel Markowitz is a descendant of German and Slovenian immigrants who came to America in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Raised in Olpe, Kansas, at the edge of the Flint Hills, he earned degrees from Emporia State University (social sciences) and te University of Kansas (law) and spent decades in quixotic pursuit of success in a career for which he was ill-suited, before embarking on a trial-and-error journey for authenticity and purpose. He has five children, five grandchildren, and lives near the beaches of Baja California, where the big skies, low horizons, and undulating waves of the Pacific Ocean remind him of the rippling tallgrass prairies of home. The Spoils of Victory, is Markowitz's first novel and Book 1 in the Prisoners of War Series. Read More Read Less
