Non-fiction
Reality tales
Kerry's' first published book was his techy memoir FoxTales. It offers a unique coming-of-age story set within the early world of the software industry. It was while crafting that book that Kerry learned the art of portraying memorable characters and presenting a page-turning narrative.

Since then, he's participated in a handful of non-fiction collaborations. He hopes to increase this selection in the future. Stay tuned!
Much has been written about the battles that rage between software companies over market share. FoxTales is the story of one such battle, told from the perspective of a foot soldier. My perspective. When I started with Fox Software, it was a company of barely thirty people. It shared space in a small bank building on the edge of Ohio’s farm country. It was a quaint, family run business, and its product, FoxBASE+, was a niche player. The next four years brought many surprises: lawsuits, buyouts, off-the-wall management, and even a flying book or two. Things no college course could prepare you for. And to think, I could’ve been a farmer.
Forty-seven multi-published Christian writers share what happened to the first novel they attempted to write . . . and why some of those books never made their way to bookstore shelves. Read these stories and be encouraged-- everyone starts with a blank page or computer screen!
The center of God’s plan often places us at the rim of our comfort zone and on the edge of defeat. The middle is safe and secure with little need for faith and belief. God, however, sends us to the margins of life and ourselves, so we can learn to trust Him. The margins are rimmed with ups and downs—laughter and tears—but it is there, on the cusp of a breakthrough or breakdown, that God’s supernatural power is made perfect in our lives (2 Corinthians 12:9). The edge is lined with God’s promises, and it is on the uneven ground of the unknown that we learn to walk confidently by faith, not sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). Each of our writers has a love of Jesus that creates an outpouring of His goodness and grace to those around them. They permeate the Presence of God in their words, and we are honored to have their collective voices united in our devotional anthology.
What could the Hunger Games teach us about God? How about the Gospel according to cyberpunk stories or the messianic themes evident in Dune? This book takes the star-flung, technological, and bestselling works of famous speculative fiction series and teaches biblical lessons alongside the text of beloved stories. Drawing on many different series, six different authors share their faith and insight using both Scripture and classic tales from science fiction and fantasy. Christians love fantasy and sci-fi. It’s okay to geek out with us. Here, we imagine that John’s glasses had tape on the middle, Peter’s pocket protector got wet after walking on the Galilee, and Jesus saves and rolls for half damage. Journey through the Old Testament with divergents and visit the New Testament through the Enderverse. Whether you’re looking for the perfect nerdvotional or trying to impart biblical wisdom to friends who lean away from Scripture but towards popular speculative fiction, this book is right for you!
