Excerpt:
Burke
crested the ridge and shot down the exposed slope at top speed. The
trail’s steepest section was a windblown, naked mountainside where
icy wind crusted the snow into a slick, slippery stretch. Burke
concentrated hard to keep his skis under him on the sheer incline. He
leaned low, edging his skis into the hill. Burke heard the wind in
his ears and the chattering steel cutting ice. He skied toward the
spot where the trail turned back into the forest, across the ridge,
and through a stand of mature Aspen.

AUTHOR
Bio and Links:
Danley’s
blue-collar background is far from the high-flying characters of The
Tipping Point. He was born an Indiana Hoosier before Danley’s
family moved to California when his father took employment as a
machinist in a World War II defense plant.
Following
D-Day, Walter Sr. reasoned that returning service men and women
passing through the beautiful state of California might want to live
there. He decided to be a home building contractor. His idea was
good; the small error was that Danley’s dad built houses one at a
time while contractors on the east coast built thousands at a time.
However, this is the environment that young Walter grew up in;
construction and real estate.
Much
later, Walter served his country as a U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman.
After Corp School Danley, thinking Medical Doctor as his career goal,
enrolled in a specialist school as an Operating Room Technician (read
scrub nurse) and transferred to the San Diego Naval Hospital.
He had
the good fortune to work on the sixth floor Sick Officers Quarters
with the Navy’s best. It is the Chiefs of Staff for each service;
Orthopedics, Oncology, Internal Medicine, and others that tend to the
patients in SOQ, and this became fodder for his fantasized future
career.
The US
Navy had little interest in his post-Naval plans. Danley was
eventually transferred to the Fleet Marine Force as a Medic at U.S.
Marine Corps’ Weapons Training Battalion, San Diego. Young Marine
Corp recruits spent weeks training with the Corp’s small arms
weapons. With live ammunition in the hands of trainees, a Medic was
required to be on duty on the firing range. The author reports that
there are many stories from the firing range and that some of these
will undoubtedly find their way into future Danley novels!
Following
an honorable discharge and with a new wife, he found his way back to
the construction industry, selling kitchen cabinets to tract house
and apartment builders. With bidding new construction projects and
attending college at night, it left little time to help his wife
raise his first two sons.
It was
at this time Danley was recruited to join a commercial real estate
firm. The first few years were spent in the land business, managing
sales crews on projects as varied as raw acreage, improved lots and
commercial land suitable for shopping centers or industrial parks.
That set the stage for moving into income properties. Danley spent
most of his working career on the investment side of this business.
Danley’s
five grown sons have parented many grandchildren for him while
building their own successful careers. He credits their mother’s
outstanding child rearing skills together with the wonderful
influence of their stepmother, Christopher Norris—a Broadway, film,
and television actress—for the fine family with which he is
blessed. Walter and Christopher were married for eighteen years,
during the boys’ formative years. She remains a good friend to the
boys and Walter.
Danley
reignited his education in mid-career at Pepperdine University’s
Graziadio School of Business and Management, earning an MBA.
Encouraged by the Pepperdine experience, he pursued a terminal degree
in Management Theory at the Peter F. Drucker School of Management at
Claremont Graduate School of Business.
A
four-decade veteran of real estate investments on a national
platform, Danley authored the course, Creative and Unconventional
Finance and taught it at five campuses of the University of
California Extension School for several years. During that period,
Danley served on the UCLA Real Estate Advisory Board.
Walter
lives in the Texas Hill Country, where he works on Inside Moves, the
sequel to his suspense thriller, The Tipping Point. He confides that
the Inside Moves will test his protagonist in ways unimagined in
earlier works. Beyond that novel in Danley’s work in process and
scheduled for release in 2016, is an as yet untitled stand-alone
mystery. Danley describes it as a historical western but with a
fantasy twist.
