Daniel Maunz writes stories that live at the intersection of humor, heart, and human complexity. His novels explore the quieter moments that shape people’s lives—grief, family, identity, purpose—and the unexpected connections that change everything. Whether he’s following a grieving widow pulled back into the chaos of family life, a lawyer whose best friend might actually be God, or a father trying to understand his son’s silent world, Maunz approaches each story with empathy and curiosity.

Readers often connect to his characters because they feel familiar: imperfect, surprising, sometimes funny, and always deeply human. His dialogue is sharp, his pacing keeps the pages moving, and his stories tend to linger long after they’re finished—not because they shout, but because they speak honestly.

Maunz is the author of Questions of Perspective and Hyphenated Relations, with his third novel, The Story of You, forthcoming in November 2025. His work has been praised for its originality, emotional insight, and ability to balance seriousness with wit.

He writes not to lecture or impress, but to explore the questions we all wrestle with—family, loss, love, choice, and the strange ways our lives connect.
