Nate Kenyon grew up in a small town in Maine, an avid reader and writer from a very early age. He attended Trinity College in Connecticut, majoring in English and winning awards for playwriting and fiction. After graduation some of his short fiction found publication in literary and genre magazines such as Nude Beach, The Belletrist Review, Nocturnal Ecstasy and Terminal Frights.
Kenyon moved to the Boston area in 1995, taking a job at the Brookline Library, and eventually accepting a position as Director of Marketing and Communications for Boston College Law School. In 2005 he sold his first novel, Bloodstone, to Five Star Publishing (Thomson Gale). Bloodstone was published a year later to critical acclaim, eventually becoming a Bram Stoker Award finalist in hardcover. In 2007, mass-market paperback publisher Leisure Books signed him to a two-book contract for Bloodstone and his next novel, The Reach. Bloodstone was released from Leisure in May 2008, and The Reach will hit shelves in December.
Kenyon has stories forthcoming in Shroud Magazine, Permuted Press's Giant Creatures anthology, and Dark Wisdom, among others, and he has recently signed a contract for a new short novel, which should come out sometime in 2009. He lives in the Boston area with his wife and three children, and is at work on his next novel. Visit him online. |
