“Kerry takes me somewhere I hadn't previously imagined and lets me live there for a while. His characters are well drawn, his situations thought-provoking, and he writes so smoothly that I can forget I'm actually sitting safe in my chair...”

Kathy Tyers, New York Times bestselling author

About

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.

AViS has been optioned!!

August 11, 2019

...unh...I can't take it anymore. I have to tell someone!

Okay, here goes. On Friday I signed a contract with someone in Hollywood.

For what?

For "Amish Vampires in Space" (and its sequels). Seems someone out that way thinks my stories would make a good movie or series.

And I'm inclined to agree.

The technical term here is "optioned". It doesn't mean something WILL get made, but it does mean AViS has someone pulling hard to try to make SOMETHING happen.

Pretty cool, huh?

(Also, big kudos to author, friend, and lawyer James Scott Bell for his advice. He's trying to reach 100 subscribers on his Patreon page, so if you like an occasional mystery, check that out by clicking below.)
