A little bit about Author Kevin R. Doyle…
I’ve been writing since 1986. I was actually into writing short stories, mainly horror, long before I chose my eventual career as a high-school and college teacher. Over my last dozen or so years of teaching I somehow, despite the workload, evolved into writing novels. After having ten released in the previous ten years, in May of 2023, I taught my last class, graded my last paper, handed in my last grade book and headed off into retirement, which now allows me to spend most of my days writing fiction.
