I'm Kevin J Anderson, a hardworking, prolific, bestselling author. I love writing. I also keep a Dune-related blog on dunenovels.com. For more about me, see www.wordfire.com and www.dunenovels.com.
I write my own original work and often collaborate with other authors, such as Brian Herbert, Rebecca Moesta (my wife), Dean Koontz, Greg Benford, and Doug Beason, to name a few.
I've also written novels and/or comics for Dune, Star Wars, X-Files, JSA, Titan A.E., StarCraft, Star Trek, and many others.
FOR ASPIRING WRITERS: I am inundated with new writers sending me their novel manuscripts and requesting critiques, or writers asking for a "blurb" quote for their book. Much as I would like to help out, I simply don't have the time to read them. Check out my blog entries, and you'll see many of my other obligations and deadlines.
It's nothing personal. Please don't ask me to read a manuscript or offer comments. I have to focus on my own writing or, in a spare moment or two, SLEEP.
People who like to read my books and any potential readers out there! Check out my books at your public library or buy them at a local bookstore. Share them with your friends (no, not by posting my books online -- let them borrow a copy. It's a great way to get them hooked!). I'd love to see you at one of my signings.
Note: If you send me an email here on MySpace, I probably won't be able to answer. If I did, I'd have a hard time meeting all my novel deadlines. Even so I'll try to address questions that come up frequently.
I would like to wish all of you, your family and friends, a safe, wonderful Holiday season, on this beautiful planet we have to live on. Your works, and those before, have changed the mind set of so many. Again, thank you for all your loving work and dedication to the BEST ongoing series of other realms of life and possibilities. The moral compass that has been a thread throughout the Dune novels is, to me, one of the greatest attributes and truths that encompass Dune. Thank You.
Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
As Thanksgiving Day rolls around, It brings up some facts, quite profound. We may think that we're poor, Feel like bums, insecure, But in truth, our riches astound.
We have friends and family we love; We have guidance from heaven above. We have so much more Than they sell in a store, We're wealthy, when push comes to shove.
So add up your blessings, I say; Make Thanksgiving last more than a day. Enjoy what you've got; Realize it's a lot, And you'll make all your cares go away.

So guess what? I had to buy the ENTIRE Dune series(count ALL the books including the prequels) because I has read them so much! They were falling apart, and my mom told me to stop reading them. And now my Seven Suns is falling apart. Guess I need to go buy those next! Keep up the great work! love from the one and only heartagram darling
