THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF
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.

Honored to be part of Havok's first anthology, "Rebirth". It contains dozens of flash fiction stories by nearly as many authors, many of whom I consider friends.
"Rebirth" also includes my stories "A Symphony of Words" and the previously unreleased "Proteus". (A sequel to the short story "Graxin".)

Here's an upcoming release that I feel honored to be a part of.
"Heroes of the Realm" is a short story anthology that features stories by a bevy of talented authors, some I've yet to meet, but many of whom I considered friends.
I've only just started reading the other stories, but I've really enjoyed what I've read so far.
Available for pre-order! Link below.
(And for those who watch my website, the story "Hard's Watcher" is part of this.)
