Kevin J. Anderson, was born March 27, 1962, and raised in small town Oregon, Wisconsin, south of Madison. He is the author of more than one hundred novels, 47 of which have appeared on national or international bestseller lists. He has over 20 million books in print in thirty languages. He has won or been nominated for numerous prestigious awards, including the Nebula Award, Bram Stoker Award, the SFX Reader's Choice Award, the American Physics Society's Forum Award, and New York Times Notable Book. By any measure, he is one of the most popular writers currently working in the science fiction genre.

Anderson has coauthored ten books in Frank Herbert's classic DUNE universe with Herbert's son Brian.  The first novel, Dune: House Atreides became a #1 international bestseller and was voted "Book of the Year" by the members of the Science Fiction Book Club by the largest margin in the history of the award. All of the subsequent DUNE novels have also been bestsellers.

 

Anderson's highly popular epic science fiction series, "The Saga of Seven Suns," is his most ambitious work, comprised of Hidden Empire, A Forest of Stars, Horizon Storms, Scattered Suns, Of Fire and Night, Metal Swarm, and the grand finale, The Ashes of Worlds, as well as the graphic novel prequel, Veiled Alliances. Practically unheard-of in the field, Anderson released all seven large volumes on time, year after year, and he completed the series with Book #7.

 

He has also coauthored a major bestseller with Dean Koontz, Prodigal Sun, which sold more than a million copies in a single year. He has written original novels Slan Hunter, Hopscotch, Captain Nemo, The Martian War, Blindfold, Resurrection Inc., and the thrillers Ill Wind and Ignition (both with Doug Beason). In 1997, during a promotional tour for his comedy/adventure novel Ai! Pedrito!, Anderson set the Guinness World Record for "Largest Single-Author Book Signing." For the Horror Writers Association, he edited the bestselling anthology of humorous horror stories, Blood Lite (Pocket Books), containing new works by Charlaine Harris, Jim Butcher, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Joe Lansdale, Kelley Armstrong, and many others.

Anderson is working on an epic nautical fantasy trilogy, "Terra Incognita," about sailing ships, sea monsters, and the crusades. The first volume, The Edge of the World, was released internationally in 2009. The second work of the volume, The Map of All Things, was released July 2010.
 

Kevin is an avid hiker and camper, doing much of his writing with a hand-held tape recorder while on long walks in Death Valley, the redwoods, or the Rocky Mountains. He is also a great fan of fine microbrews. He and his wife, author Rebecca Moesta, currently reside in Colorado.
