Kenny Soward is a bestselling author who has made a name for himself in the realm of horror fiction, but his writing skills are not limited to just one genre. He is also well-versed in writing epic fantasy, science fiction, military science fiction, post-apocalyptic, fantasy, and science fiction stories.
Raised in a small suburban area just south of Cincinnati, Ohio, Soward grew up in Kentucky during the 1970s. His love for hard rock music and playing outdoors defined his childhood, and he spent many hours jumping bikes and playing Nerf football with his friends. Soward's family has a strong history of service, with his grandfather, uncles, cousins, and father all serving in the United States Military or as Kentucky State Troopers. Their sacrifices and dedication have instilled in him a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation for the world around him.
Soward's writing is influenced by a diverse group of authors, including Stephen King, George R.R. Martin, Anne Rice, J.K. Rowling, Mark Lawrence, Dan Simmons, Robin Hobb, Robert McCammon, Larry Correia, and Mike Kraus. He has a wide-ranging taste in movies and shows, from the reboot of Battlestar Galactica to the Walking Dead. Soward's curiosity and enthusiasm for life are evident in his stories, even the darker ones.
