About

Born in Ft. Wayne, IN and raised in southeastern VA, Kevin A. Kierstead was published by the age of 10 (editorial). After graduating high school in 1990, he joined the U.S.A.F. for four years while being published as the feature and sports writer for the North Pole Independent Newspaper, securing an exclusive interview with a new gold and silver Olympic medalist, Tommy Moe. He also finished his first fiction novel during his military service.

He later studied at Christopher Newport University, majoring in Psychology and English with a writing concentration, 1996-99, 2002-04.

He believes it hasn't all been done, and that everybody has a story to tell. He believes that rules and constraints must often be scrutinized and tested. His genres vary, including science-fiction, humor, and suspense thrillers. He hopes to sign with a major publishing house but is also entirely content as long as his readers are satisfied.

Story Behind The Book

Aliens may or may not have already been to Earth, but mathematically, it's impossible that they won't eventually visit. Is it so hard to guess what it might really be like? Does it have to be the cliche E.T. or V or Alien(s)? No. This is not only a fresh, new perspective on alien interaction, but it is also a deep and totally controversial look at the history of mankind on Earth, what "God" is, and what's coming up for humankind in a near and distant future. You may hate Alt's pet, Khan (he's just mean) but you may just fall in love with him and the truths he so abrasively delivers. Suffice it to say that manners may not be popular in other parts of the Universe...
