Kyle Winter

Biography

Having failed as an author bio writer, I decided to try my hand at science-fiction. I'm basically just a guy who takes my imaginary friends too seriously.

When not running my characters through a gauntlet of misery I run paper & pencil RPG's, get beat up at jiu-jitsu and train my dog not to put his junk on things.

Smashwords Interview

What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
When someone is so pleased by my work that they feel strongly enough to comment on it or recommend to a friend. That adrenaline rush is unreal. Even just asking questions about the world or discussing their favorite character gives me goosebumps. I try to keep my ego in check but making a fan is incredibly rewarding.
Who are your favorite authors?
I love how guys like Jim Butcher and Larry Correia can mix humor with badassery. Their characters always have good flavor and the worlds they paint are so vivid that when I look up from reading I get confused and disappointed that I'm not surrounded by hungry demons. I'm also a big fan of comic writers like Chris Claremont and Marv Wolfman. Many of the characters they created are still my favorites.

Most companies are willing to conduct clandestine operations to drive their competitors into the ground. Blackmail, vandalism, thievery, kidnapping, and murder are just some of the ways companies knock each other down a peg. No self-respecting businessman would sully his hands with such a project, thus an underground network of civilian operatives fills that need. Individuals who are brave (or insane) enough to assist in these secret missions are rewarded with either a fat check or a dirt nap. Due to the dangerous and unpredictable nature of these missions, civilian operatives are often called… Soldiers of Misfortune
