Your Friend & Humble Narrator

Welcome to my own private Lumaverse. This is where I riff and write on narrative works that comprise an interconnected story world inspired by my experience as a small town reporter in Petaluma, CA, (a.k.a. Lumaville). The town is where I grew up, where I repatriated, and where I work (and by “work” I mean drink, dream, and dread with occasional flurries of manic output). The novels and films share characters and other preoccupations of their author-auteur — mainly neo-noir, sci-fi crime, the paranormal, pills, the Many Worlds Theory, the cultural irrelevance of Generation X, and my own mordant sense of humor. Sometimes, I share the process and other thoughts in a blog and podcast. — DH

Enigmatic. Controversial. Strange. Always interesting.

Writer-director Daedalus Howell began his career in letters as a paperboy for the Petaluma Argus-Courier. Since then, he has created over 40 short films, music videos, and branded entertainments that have appeared on MTV, IFC, HBO, and BiteTV. He co-created the original comic series, R&H Educational Films, for Universal/Showtime, co-produced the film The Aviary and wrote and directed the upcoming feature film Pill Head, which is now in post-production.

Howell has written premium content for Medium, wine stories for Men’s Health, and produced arts coverage for the San Francisco Chronicle among hundreds of other bylines from local media like the Sonoma Index-Tribune, Sonoma Magazine, and the Petaluma Argus-Courier.

He’s the author, most recently, of Quantum Deadline, which the North Bay Bohemian observed is a “…noirish, sci-fi-lite detective story with a heap of self-parody that’s by turns poignant, witty and comic.” He is a host of the Daedalus Howell STORY podcast and blog (DaedalusHowell.com), appears frequently on The Drive with Steve Jaxon (KSRO). Howell is also the Senior Brand Editor of award-winning experiential exhibit design house Group Delphi.
