    J. Daniel Sawyer is a science fiction author seeking to further destabilize the universe by building a cult in his own honor.
    Although not as crazy as Philip K. Dick or as bloody-minded as Robert A. Heinlein, he does share certain delusional qualities with both, including a prominent middle initial and the fantasy that the universe would be a better place if reality conformed to the strange visions protected by his fragile skull.
    Lest the fragility of his skull give you any ideas, be advised that he has a killer fedora hat and isn't afraid to use it. He also saw one too many Bond movies as a child. If you haven't yet been frightened away, click here to learn more.
