Kerry’s novel A Star Curiously Singing won the Readers Favorite Gold Medal Award for Christian Science Fiction and is notable for its dystopian, cyberpunk vibe. It is often mentioned on “Best of” lists. Among his writings, his most talked about is the genre-bending Amish Vampires in Space, which was mentioned on The Tonight Show and in the Washington Post, Library Journal, and Publishers Weekly. Newsweek called it “a welcome departure from the typical Amish fare.” Kerry is a refugee of the software industry who spent more than a decade of his life flipping bits, first as one of the principal developers for the now mythical Fox Software and then at Microsoft. He is a husband, a father, a technophile, and a movie buff.
