Dale Mettam Having graduated college, Dale worked for a small regional newspaper as a staff writer, restaurant reviewer and for two hours (really, just two hours), weekly contest compiler. Following that he worked in advertising, writing copy and promotional video scripts. In the middle of writing a training video for lawyers, Dale realized that the best bits weren’t the training parts, chopped those out and was left with his first short story about Lawyers in hell. Since making the move away from writing believable and sometimes humorous lies for other people, Dale has written screenplays, a sci-fi/comedy novel, numerous short stories and more recently comic books. Three shorts, all serious sci-fi, made it to the quarter finals of the L. Ron Hubbard "Writers of the Future Contest." Another short, “Heard It,” can be seen in the upcoming Fantasist Enterprises’ Anthology “Bash Down the Door and Slice Open the Badguy.” Currently sweating over his second novel, Dale is also developing and scripting several comic book titles. On the screenplay front, he’s working on “A Knight Time Story” and is in the early stages of developing the script for a psychological thriller with a director in Sweden.
