After a long career in technical writing and intelligence analysis, K.A. turned to the serious work of speculative fiction. His short stories may be found in e-zines: Of Metal and Magic, Altered Reality, Bewildering Stories, Across the Margin, and on his blog Strange Things Done. The Starflower is his first novel of a planned trilogy; the sequel Agent of Blue Star is in progress. Mr. Kenny lives with his wife and two large dogs in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains.

Our guest this week is author S.M. Sykes. S.M. Sykes never saw himself as a writer, facing struggles with English classes in school. Even his wife, who doubles as his editor, can attest to occasional challenges with organizing his thoughts. However, despite these obstacles, he discovered a passion for storytelling that he couldn’t ignore. Beginning with his debut novel, Eyes of Blue in 2018 at the age of 38, he found the genesis of his stories in a simple idea that sparked in his mind. As the narrative unfolded, it took on a life of its own, leading to the ongoing series that began with Eyes of Blue and continues with his current project, Loss of Blue. With Loss of Blue, he aims to weave together the threads of his previous works into a conclusion that is both profound and satisfying. Balancing a full-time job with his writing endeavors, which include advertising and marketing his work, has proven challenging. Yet, his motivation lies not in financial gain or replacing his day job but in the satisfaction of sharing his ideas with readers. Looking ahead, he remains focused on his writing journey, eager to explore where it may lead. He invites others to join him on this adventure by checking out his books and sharing their thoughts. Check out the entire Blue SF series:
