BIO
Kerry Nietz is an award-winning science fiction author. He has twelve speculative novels in print, along with two novellas, a handful of short stories, and a non-fiction book, FoxTales.
Kerry’s novel A Star Curiously Singing won the Readers Favorite Gold Medal Award for Christian Science Fiction and is notable for its dystopian, cyberpunk vibe in a world under sharia law. It is often mentioned on “Best of” lists.
Among his writings, Kerry's most talked about is the genre-bending Amish Vampires in Space. AViS was mentioned on the Tonight Show and in the Washington Post, Library Journal, and Publishers Weekly. Newsweek called it “a welcome departure from the typical Amish fare.”
Kerry is a refugee of the software industry. He spent more than a decade of his life flipping bits, first as one of the principal developers for the now mythical Fox Software, and then as one of Bill Gates's minions at Microsoft. He is a husband, a father, a technophile and a movie buff.

Latest News
"Rhats Free!" now available!
April 11, 2024
The third Frohic story is available!
It took a bit to get all the parts in place, but I'm so excited to have this story out there for everyone to read and enjoy. At over 300 pages, this tail (tale) is the longest of the mischief (...that's a grouping of rats...), but it's stuffed full of adventure and fun. It's also appropriate for readers of all ages. Both my 13-year-old and my 85-year-old father are fans of this series.
You can purchase the book on Amazon as a print or eBook at the link below.
AViS film option renewed!
January 11, 2024
Happy to announce that the option for "Amish Vampires in Space" has been renewed for an unprecedented FOURTH time.
With the writers strike now over and more critical steps having been taken, we're hopeful that this is the year that leads to an even bigger announcement. But time will tell.
Pray that the right connections are made to get series / movie off the ground and on a marquee (or streaming queue) somewhere!
