Daryl Furumi Mallett, (born in Los Angeles, California on May 3, 1969), is an entrepreneur; freelance writer, editor and publisher; and an actor, producer and director.

In the writing world, some of these duties include being series editor of SFRA Press' Studies in Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror; associate editor for Gryphon Publications, Other Worlds and Hardboiled; contributing writer for Water Conditioning and Purification and M&V Magazine, among others; assistant editor at Xenos Books; founder and owner of Angel Enterprises, and publisher and editor of Jacob's Ladder Books.

He is currently editor at Valley Publishing of three regional magazines and newspapers in Mesa/Gilbert (Northeast Mesa Lifestyle, Senior Lifestyle and Gilbert Lifestyle). Formerly, he was editor at World Publishing Corp. of four community newspapers (Alta Mesa Times, Red Mountain Times, Superstition Springs Community News and Trails & Paths (Las Sendas)) and associate editor/reporter on an as-needed basis for 26 other newspapers and three magazines in Arizona and Nevada. In 2004, he co-founded Prismic Marketing & Communications, a newspaper publishing company which will launch its first product in mid-2005.

Mallett also freelances as a Senior Outside Research Associate at The International Research Center in Phoenix, working on business and competitive intelligence, corporate strategy, management consulting and technical writing, mainly in the telecommunications, Internet and e-Commerce markets.

In the film and television world, he is the founder and producer at Dustbunny Productions, marketing director and assistant to the producer at Caribou Moving Pictures and associate producer for Draco Productions.

Entrepreneurially, in 1998, he founded and became Chief Evangelical Officer of Blue Fire Technologies Inc., an information technology, hardware and software company focusing on mobile computing technology, which is seeking venture capital funding. Mallett is also a co-founder of AZSNAP—Arizona’s Scottsdale Network at the Airpark, a networking group which has since been acquired by the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce.

Mallett received a dual Interdisciplinary Humanities and Social Sciences Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree from the University of California, Riverside in 1991, specializing in Theatre Arts/Public Speaking and Creative Writing/Comparative Literatures and Languages (Speculative Fiction) under the direction of Pilgrim Award-winning author George E. Slusser.

He has had the usual roster of odd jobs required by any writer, including ten years at Borgo Press, where he started out as a stock boy in 1989 and ended as a series and senior outside editor in 1999 when the venerable company closed its doors. Mallett also served as assistant to the curator (Dr. George E. Slusser) of The J. Lloyd Eaton Collection of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Literature—the largest cataloged collection of such materials in institutional hands in the world, located at the University of California, Riverside's Tomas Rivera Library in the Special Collections Dept.; editor and contributing writer of SFRA Newsletter and SFRA Review; associate editor of Environmental Times and Central American Times, two international newspapers; advertising sales representative for Southwest Diver; contributing writer for Overstreet's FAN; technical writer for a CD-ROM company, a digital video compression studio, and a water purification equipment manufacturer; procedures analyst for a police department; an ISO9000 certification writer for a food manufacturer; director of writing & business development at an advertising/marketing agency; an auto glass delivery guy; a cardboard box cutter; a lingerie packer; a data entry worker; a call center grunt; a busboy and waiter for Shakey's Pizza; an employee of McDonald's; a water polo player and swimmer; a janitor for a church…and a Kelly girl.

Mallett received a dual Interdisciplinary Humanities and Social Sciences Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree from the University of California, Riverside in 1991, specializing in Theatre Arts/Public Speaking and Creative Writing/Comparative Literatures and Languages (Speculative Fiction) under the direction of Pilgrim Award-winning author and scholar Dr. George E. Slusser. He also studied with authors like Eliud Martinez, Susan Straight, Stephen Minot, Harry Lawton, Lou Pedrotti, Stephanie Hammer, Gary Kern, Pulitzer Prize nominee Maurya Simon, actor/director Richard Russo, and Babylon 5 set designer John Iacovelli. Maulana Karenga, creator of Kwanzaa, was also his mentor for Ethnic Studies. Ever the overachiever, Mallett plans to return to school to finish his Master of Arts (M.A.) degree in History (with M.F.A. certificates in Creative Writing and Medieval Studies), and eventually hopes to get his M.B.A., M.L.S. and Ph.D. degrees.

Published works include a poetry anthology Full Frontal Poetry (w/Chaelyn L. Hakim and Frances McConnel, 1991); Reginald's Science Fiction and Fantasy Awards: A Comprehensive Guide to the Awards and Their Winners (w/Robert Reginald) 2nd Ed. (1991), 3rd Ed.

Burgess, 1993); The Work of Jack Vance: An Annotated Bibliography and Guide (w/Jerry Hewett, 1994); The Work of Elizabeth Chater: An Annotated Bibliography and Guide (w/Annette Y.

His first comic book, Hero-Lore #1, was released at the International Comic Convention in San Diego in 1999.

His work has appeared in magazines and newspapers as diverse as Anticipatia, Books at UCR, Buzz, The Clearwater Chronicle, ConNotations, Environmental Times, The Grapevine, Hieroglyphs, International Ground Water, ISFA Newsletter, M&V Magazine, Overstreet’s FAN, Perry Rhodan Magazine, The Pet Gazette, Riverside Review, SFRA Newsletter, SFRA Review, SoCal Cinema News, Thirteen, Water Conditioning and Purification, Water Technology, and more, as well as in volumes for The Borgo Press, Greenwood Press, Gryphon Publications, Jai Press, St. James Press and Salem Press. He has been published in the United States, Canada, Ireland and Romania. Of his hundreds of publications, the two which have garnered him the most recognition are "Tongue-Tied: Bubo's Tale" in Star Wars: Tales from Jabba's Palace (ed. by Kevin J. Anderson, Bantam Books, 1996) and the storyline from the two-part Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Birthright" (w/Barbra Wallace, Arthur Loy Holcomb and George Brozak). This makes him one of only a handful of writers to have worked on both Star Trek and Star Wars.

As an actor, Mallett has appeared in Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death, Star Trek: The Next Generation; Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and Carmady's People: The Case of the Reluctant Major, all in categories for which there is no Oscar Award. He was Assistant to the Producer for The Message (Caribou Moving Pictures, 2005) and Associate Producer for Illusion (Draco Productions, 2005). Current projects include: Assistant to the Producer for In Search of Steven Spielberg (Caribou Moving Pictures); Associate Producer, co-Screenwriter and acting in the role of Zar in the film The First Rose of Spring (Draco Productions); and Script Supervisor and acting in the role of Drax in the fan film Dr. Who and the Legends of Time (M&V Studios).

He has also worked on or appeared in the film Sphere, as well as in Disneyland's Main Street Electrical Parade and Bear Country Hoedown, and stage productions of Mame, Waiting in the Wings, Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta Pirates of Penzance, Ghost Sonata, The Apple Tree, The Birthday Party, the Christmas program at The Crystal Cathedral, and numerous Shakespearean plays, among others, and won critical acclaim in Southern California with a ''DramaLogue'' Award for his performance as "Christmas Future" in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

Other positions Mallett has held include Director of Writing & Business Development at Parker Madison Marketing Studio Inc., as well as serving as a consultant to small, start-up companies such as Keep It SIMple Entertainment, a manufacturer of virtual reality simulators (formerly VP, Corporate Communications); Y-Not Entertainment (formerly Producer and Marketing and Advertising Dir.); The Obsidian Marketing Group (co-founder and formerly Chief Operating Officer); M&V Publishing; Lake Mary Systems; and Tower Communications, among others.

He is currently at work on numerous projects, including co-producer on In Search of Steven Spielberg, a film written by Star Trek actor Walter Koenig to be directed by Stephen Furst; co-producer (w/Mark Crockett) on Turkeystuffer, a movie based on the novel of the same name by Crockett; co-producer (w/Sheryl Flournoy) on the script for the fantasy film The First Rose of Spring. He is also compiling The Centurians, a business encyclopedia and editing The Praetorians, an accompanying book of essays by business leaders; Hand of the Romanovs, a mystery/suspense novel; an as-yet-untitled nonfiction work on the history of needlemaking; a fourth edition of Reginald’s Science Fiction & Fantasy Awards: A Comprehensive Guide to the Awards and Their Winners (w/Robert Reginald); Lava, a fantasy novel (w/Max Espinoza) based on the comic book by Ruben Gerard and Espinoza; Like the Awesome Gleam of Crystal, a novel based on the 1954 novel Alien Life, by E. C. Tubb; Among the Vanguard: An Annotated Bibliography and Guide to the Works of A. E. van Vogt, which will feature an introduction by George Clayton Johnson and remembrances by other writers; George Fox: Friend for Christ, a narrative story of the life of the Quaker evangelist; and Priceless: An Annotated Filmography and Guide to the Works of Vincent Price.

Mallett splits his time between Arizona, Southern California, Minnesota, and the rest of the world. He says his greatest joy in life is "spending time with the lady he loves, with his son and his dogs; followed by visiting with friends, traveling and dining, reading and writing...most of which I accomplish through my involvement in the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA)."
