Author2Author with Kay Kenyon

Bill welcomes science fiction and fantasy author Kay Kenyon back to the show. Kay Kenyon is a science fiction and fantasy novelist and writing teacher. Her work has been shortlisted for the Philip K. Dick award and twice for the American Library Reading List award. She teaches fiction at conferences around the Pacific Northwest, and has just published her sixteenth novel.

Kay is a founding member of Write on the River, an organization that for the last fifteen years has been encouraging aspiring writers in Eastern Washington.

Her most recent novel is The Girl Who Fell Into Myth, the first book in a four-book fantasy series. A previous series, The Dark Talents, has been optioned for film and received starred reviews in Publishers Weekly.

Currently, she is teaching an online bi-monthly class called “Boost Your Writing Chops,” through Write on the River.

After fifteen books from traditional publishers, she is trying her hand at self-publishing, a decision she’s happy with, but which she claim is like “learning to fly a 747 one-handed while writing a novel with the other.” She has made it to a soft landing with her first book, but there are still three more to go!
