B. Daniel Blatt, a writer based in Los Angeles, California, has blogged on GayPatriot.net since October 2004. Before moving to the Golden State in 1999, he lived in the Washington, D.C.-area where he worked on Capitol Hill and founded the Log Cabin Republican Club of Northern Virginia, serving as its president for two years. He has completed five screenplays, including an adaptation, based on his own original translation, of Beowulf, in which he discovers the Beowulf-poet, more than 1,100 years after the poet’s death.

A cum laude graduate of Williams College, Blatt studied literature in Europe at the Sorbonne in Paris and Albert-Lüdwigs-Universität in Freiburg/Breisgau, Germany. In 1994, he received his J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law, where he served as president of the Federalist Society. He has also written a novel, Calypso’s Cave, about a married man who falls in love with a gay man, and has mapped out a three-volume fantasy epic.

The founder of Ephs-in-Entertainment, a networking group for Williams alumni in the entertainment industry, Blatt currently serves as president of the Williams College Regional Association of Los Angeles. Having completed the M.A. in Mythological Studies program at Pacifica Graduate Institute, he is currently working on his Ph.D., writing a dissertation on the goddess Athena as the archetype of the feminine in men’s lives.
