Welcome to my little space out on the web. I'm Kenny Soward, and I'm an author, musician, and once IT guy. I write books in many sub-genres of Science Fiction and Fantasy, including post-apocalyptic, military science fiction, epic fantasy, and horror. I'm influenced by authors such as Stephen King, George R. R. Martin, Anne Rice, J.K. Rowling, Mark Lawrence, Dan Simmons, Robin Hobb, Robert McCammon, Larry Correia, and Mike Kraus.
I love all kinds of movies and shows from Battle Star Galactica (reboot) to the Walking Dead. There's nothing I won't try.
I grew up in Kentucky in a small suburb just south of Cincinnati, Ohio, listening to hard rock and playing outdoors. In those quiet 1970's streets, I jumped bikes, played Nerf football, and came away with many scars.
My grandfather and many of my uncles and cousins served in the United States Military, and my father was a Kentucky State Trooper. Their efforts taught me the meaning of sacrifice and gratitude. I've always had an avid curiosity about the world around me, and I hope my enthusiasm for life carries over into my stories, even the dark ones.
A short, intense, but ultimately hopeful story of survival
EF4 Supercell is a novella about surviving a massive, destructive tornado. The writing is just excellent, you can almost feel the atmosphere crackling with electricity and menace reading it. I imagine it would be much more intense and visceral for anyone who survived a tornado themselves. This is a story of hope, not just destruction for destruction's sake. If you want to read something short and affecting, you can't do better than EF4 Supercell, novellas don't get much better than this! 5/5 stars! I wish it was longer, but I understood it was a novella when I selected it...
This is not a book that covers the entire country going through a disaster. Rather it covers just a specific area that suffers a major tornado. You have two students in a library as one aspect of the story and a woman that has some kind of social media thing going on.
The descriptions of the tornado's actions are pretty well done and perhaps the best people is how people help other people deal with the massive destruction the tornado causes.
An exciting book! It raises one of my longtime questions about disasters, that being,"why do people keep rebuilding in disaster areas?" Mother Nature is always going to win, its not like people are going to wear her down by continuing to build back in tornado or wildfire or hurricane or volcano zones, etc., etc.
