Dan Woods is an Idaho native. Born in Caldwell, Idaho in 1965, he attended schools in Grace, Idaho and Mesa, Arizona. Returning to Idaho, he worked in law enforcement for twenty-two years. He has a passion for many outdoor activities that include archery, camping, hunting, fishing, biking, and wildlife photography.
He attended Idaho State University where he earned a Bachelor Degree in English with an emphasis on Secondary Education. He currently teaches middle school in Idaho where he shares his love of literature with his students. It was his daughter and students who prompted him to begin writing after hearing some of his short stories.
Beginning with short bedtime stories that teach moral principles, he moved to his first published novel in December, 2015. His second novel of the series followed in January, 2016 with several more in the series to follow.
Spending his time working with students, sharing life's lessons, researching world events, or enjoying the outdoors has led to many experiences that help shape his fictional stories.

The Plan: Level I: The Awakening by Dan L Woods is the story of what our world could be like in the future. Gabe Anderson is a normal 17-year-old. Just like any other teenager, he watches videos on YouTube. One day he watched a video about government conspiracies, including one called “The Plan.” Intrigued and fascinated, Gabe had a surprise when the creator of the video committed suicide after shooting up a school. Gabe and Hanna start their own investigation to find out if these conspiracies are true. They had no idea that they would discover a conspiracy that can actually affect the whole country. But now they are in trouble. They are being targeted. Gabe and Hanna go on a cross-country journey to find the sister of the video maker who can help in revealing the truth.
This is a really cool novel. You get to see a side of the future that we all try not to think about. The story is very powerful; right from the beginning you feel that you are going to uncover something great. The characters are very strong, the dialogues are really well written, and the descriptions are very crisp. The plot is intense and you will feel the tension in the scenarios. Woods chose good words, words that explain the situations and build up your tension and make you want to read more. I finished this novel in a single sitting. A very well approached novel that will stay with you for a long time.
