About the Author:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A.K. Kuykendall
Horror Suspense, Science Fiction, Conspiracy Thrillers
A.K. KUYKENDALL was born in Albany, Georgia, but grew up as a military brat on the Kaneohe Bay Marine Corps Base Hawaii (MCBH), and later at the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base in Jacksonville, North Carolina. He is married to Magdiel Kuykendall (the love of his life) and, together, they are the proud parents of three sons—Felix, Kal-El, and Jor-El—two of whom are legally named after the Kryptonian House of El due to the author’s affinity for the story of Superman. He’s a corporate executive chef by trade, but his true passion in life is writing thought-provoking novels that blend the concepts of fact and fiction.
His writing career has been heavily inspired and influenced by Rod Serling and his classic ‘60s television series, The Twilight Zone, and by The Mercury Theatre’s October 30, 1938 broadcast of “The War of the Worlds” over the Columbia Broadcasting System radio. He was then and still is wholly enthralled with the way these two examples showcased ordinary people in extraordinary situations. He especially loved the remarkable plot twists common to The Twilight Zone stories, and the fright manifested by H.G. Wells.
When he’s not writing, he finds comfort in heading out to the golf course with his son and golf partner, Jor-El, where they altogether embarrass themselves on the fairway. He both creates and resides in Ruskin, Florida.

Gold Medal
“I’ve read only a handful of authors who weave truth into the lies that form the foundations for fiction, especially horror fiction. Koontz has done it. A quote from King describes it: ‘Fiction is a lie. GOOD fiction is the truth within the lie.’ Kuykendall has taken it to heart and fully exposes the truth of today’s headlines into the fiction and mythology of the Catholic Church.” ~ LAS Book Reviews (5 STARS)
