daniel eakins
Daniel Eakins is a seasoned IT professional with over fifteen years of experience leading complex infrastructure, cybersecurity, and enterprise-level technology projects across healthcare, education, and government environments. Known for his problem-solving mindset and steady leadership, he has built a career on strengthening systems, safeguarding data, and creating solutions that empower the people who rely on them. His work blends technical expertise with a deep understanding of human needs—a balance that also fuels his writing.
As the founder of Rust & Rebirth Press and the author of the dystopian dieselpunk trilogy Remnants, Daniel brings that same precision and purpose into storytelling. His fiction explores memory, identity, resilience, and the human cost of survival in broken worlds. What began as a creative escape evolved into a full literary universe, shaped by Daniel’s love of character-driven narratives and cinematic world-building.
Driven, imaginative, and endlessly curious, Daniel is committed to crafting stories that stay with readers long after the final page. Remnants: The Awakening is his debut novel, with two more installments—The Forsaken and The Reclamation—completing the trilogy.
When he's not writing or rebuilding digital landscapes, Daniel enjoys spending time with his family, mentoring others, and continuing to grow in both the technical and creative worlds he calls home.
