Ken Doyle

I've been writing ever since the early years in grade school but started to consider a career as a writer in my teens. I published my first short story at 13, and wrote nonfiction for a few magazines as a teenager. One of my short stories, written when I was 16, was selected for an anthology of the best science fiction by Indian authors. I knew my career would involve writing, but I wasn't sure exactly what form it would take.

For a long while, after I moved to the US, I had to put my dream of writing fiction on hold. Life intervened, along with the necessity of paying bills. Although my jobs all involved writing in one form or another, my dream of writing fiction remained a dream until a few years ago. A friend of mine introduced me to NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), and that forced me to develop the discipline needed to write fiction again. After that, I couldn't stop!
