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.

Here's a fun New Years Day surprise.
A few months back I was asked to be part of a collaborative effort by a bunch of multi-published author friends. The goal of the effort is to teach and encourage new writers, something I wholeheartedly support.
The first fruits of the effort is a new book of essays about first novels (or what we thought were our first novels) and what happened to them.
The book is available for preorder now. Read more about it at the link below.
