He has written short stories (“The Wake” appeared in the Winter 1995, No.2 Edition of the literary magazine Melting Trees Review) and was a regular columnist for www.critics.com (“Movie Previews”). In 2009, Kevin completed a screenplay with independent filmmaker, writer/director Ron DeSoto (First Draft). Shadow Man is his first novel. Kevin draws from influences like “The Twilight Zone” and “The X-Files”, and merge them with Biblical truths to create stories that are suspenseful and unusual while dealing with spiritual issues and confrontations between good and evil.

Kevin lives in Montgomery, Alabama with his wife, stepdaughter, four cats and a dog that can’t stand the outdoors.
