# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Daniel Gerhard Brown was born June 22, 1964, and grew up to write thrillers structured like treasure hunts—most compressed into 24 hours, all laced with cryptography, art, and conspiracy. Angels & Demons arrived in 2000, but The Da Vinci Code in 2003 was the detonation: translated into 57 languages, adapted to film, and condemned by religious groups who saw its Christian historical fiction as attack rather than inquiry. Brown insists he's on a "constant spiritual journey" and calls the work "a positive catalyst for introspection," not anti-Christian polemic. The Lost Symbol, Inferno, Origin, and The Secret of Secrets followed—more Langdon, more codes, more 24-hour sprints. Three became films, one a 2021 series. By 2012 his books had moved over 200 million copies, proof that millions wanted their faith served as a riddle with a ticking clock.
