Daniel Keys Moran
Daniel Keys Moran is a computer programmer and a science-fiction writer, most famous for his own fiction series, The Tales of the Continuing Time. He has been the administrator of a number of websites and currently maintains the Daniel Keys Moran blog.
His Star Wars writing consisted of three short stories:
- "Empire Blues: The Devaronian's Tale" from Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina
- "A Barve Like That: The Tale of Boba Fett" from Tales from Jabba's Palace
- Published under the pseudonym J. D. Montgomery. Moran said, "Editorial changes that were unacceptable to me were made to 'A Barve Like That,' which is why the 'J. D. Montgomery' pseudonym, but on balance it is perhaps not a bad story, and I won't disown it if people understand that the final product is only perhaps 80% mine."[source?]
- He says of this one, "I like my story. It's long enough to let me tackle a couple of characters—Solo and Boba Fett—in something approaching depth; and Lucasfilm messed with me less on this story than on either of the two previous."[source?]
