Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m Kyle, a writer from the hills of Kentucky. My debut thriller, The Keeper of the Crows, appeared on the Preliminary Ballot of the 2015 Bram Stoker Awards in the category of Superior Achievement in a First Novel. Last year I released The Chrononaut, a science fiction novella about a haunted time traveler.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
A Sound in the Dark is my latest novel, a fast-paced thriller full of twists and turns meant to keep you reading until the last page. It follows a group of friends as they attempt to survive over the course of a single night of pure terror. I came up with the idea in high school when I was camping by the lake with some friends. I went into the lake on a dare, and that night I was so cold that I couldn’t sleep. I lay awake, listening to the sounds outside the tent, and it occurred to me just how vulnerable and exposed we were.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I lose myself in my writing. I’ll slip away into a chapter, and suddenly hours will have passed. I can accomplish a lot in a short time this way, but it also leaves me wondering where all that time has gone.
What are you working on now?
My next novel is a western, due out later this year from Sunbury Press. Sunbury has also accepted the sequel to my first novel, The Keeper of the Crows, for publication in 2018. I also have a few secret projects I’m working on at the moment!
What are you reading now?
I’ve been meaning to read The Name of the Wind for a while now. After I finish writing my current project, I may pick it up.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
The Passage by Justin Cronin, Red Rising by Pierce Brown, and Bone by Jeff Smith. And since I’m on a deserted island, probably a survival manual.
