Kevin J. Anderson

Kevin J. Anderson was born March 27, 1962, and raised in small town Oregon, Wisconsin. He 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 submitted his first short story to a magazine when he was a freshman in high school, and managed to collect 80 rejection slips for various manuscripts before he actually had a story accepted two years later (for a magazine that paid only in copies). When he was a senior, he sold his first story for actual money (a whopping $12.50), but he never slowed down. Author of the bestselling X-Files titles ‘Ground Zero’ and ‘Ruins’, he sold his first novel, ‘Resurrection, Inc.’, by the time he turned 25.
