Through Many Fires, the first book in his post-apocalyptic Strengthen What Remains series came out in paperback, Kindle, and on Audible in August 2013. Within two weeks the novel appeared on the Kindle Science Fiction Post-Apocalyptic list, reaching #10, and reached #1 on the list on December 2, 2014. The second book in the series, A Time to Endure, reached the number one position on the Amazon Kindle war fiction genre list just over a month after release and then again in January of 2016. At the same time Braving the Storms reached the number eight spot.
His most recent post-apocalyptic thrillers are the Amazon bestsellers, Through the Storm and Race to Refuge. You can learn more about Kyle’s post-apocalyptic novels by clicking here.
Kyle grew up in the mountains of Colorado and earned an Associate in Arts degree from Mesa State College in Grand Junction. When money for college ran low he enlisted in the United States Navy as a Cryptologic Technician.
“I thought I would do four years and then use my veteran's benefits to go back to college,” he told himself at the time. “Life often doesn’t go the way we plan.”
Kyle’s first assignment was with a U.S. Navy unit at the Royal Air Force base in Edzell, Scotland. While on leave in Israel he met Lorraine from Plymouth, Devon, England, and married her the next year. Together they spent the remainder of his twenty-year naval career traveling across the United States from Virginia to Hawaii and on to Guam, Japan, and beyond.
Today, Kyle and Lorraine live on a small family farm in Western Washington State. When he isn't writing he repairs gates and fences, tends bees and chickens, and blogs anything that comes to his mind.
