BIO
Kerry Nietz is an award-winning science fiction author. He has fourteen 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.

When editor Christopher Schmitz asked me to write the foreword for his collaborative sci-fi devotional last year, I was honored to do so. "What a cool idea!" I thought. "Using well-known speculative stories as settings for a daily devotional reading. I like it." So, writing the foreword was easy.
Then he asked me to participate in the next devotional. What it required was writing ten devotionals--five using my novels, five using someone else's. (A well known story or author.) Not one to shy away from a writing challenge, I said "Sure!"
And the results are now available in eBook and print form. You can check it out on Amazon by clicking below.
