Kent M. Schwendy is an engineer and military veteran who balances his day job as a corporate executive with his passion for writing. He believes that everyone is the sum of their experiences and, with that in mind, tries to create characters with unique perspectives and feelings. Imagining how these different personalities would interact and respond to events is his favorite part of storytelling.

He lives in central Connecticut with his wife, two cats, and about a half a million honeybees. The bees contribute to his writing by providing Zen time for story development. His wife and cats take more active roles by reviewing, editing, and laying on the keyboard so he has more time to think.
