Daniel Lechner lives in retirement in the beautiful desert south of Tucson, Arizona. His working career of 38 years as a stock broker gave him a front row seat to the world. From that perch he was able to see it all. Some of his experiences have found their way into this manuscript. "Sycamore Gulch" is Mr. Lechner's fourth novel. His education consists of a bachelors degree in Chemistry, and many, many years of enjoyable reading.
