Ken Newman has loved stories of the fantastic since listening to his grandmother's folk tales of witches and haints when he was a child. Devouring the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Ray Bradbury and Fredric Brown, to name a few, gave his imagination wings. Ken is the author of the paranormal thriller Forsaken and the newly released science fiction adventure Dead Ends, both released by Black Opal Books. When not writing, he enjoys sculpting, cheesy monster movies, and building the occasional trebuchet. A member of the International Thriller Writers Association, Ken lives in East Tennessee with his wife Christian and their three daughters. Please feel free to contact Ken, he would love to hear from you. www.newkman.net @newkman61 facebook.com/newkman61.com
