Kevin A. Barnes — Author Almost since I was old enough to grasp a pen, I have been passionate about writing. My first short story — a science fiction/fantasy piece titled “A Gift from the Trees” — originally was published in 1982. After (too) many years focused almost exclusively on nonfiction writing as part of my career, I’ve returned to crafting fiction. Recent Fiction “Inspiration” — This short story was released on October 31, 2014 as part of the newest anthology from Editorial Trance. The book includes stories from nine renowned authors. representing four countries. Both epub and PDF versions of the book are available from Editorial Trance.

Endorsements I have known Kevin as a colleague at Creatonomy Marketing Communications and before that as a fellow graduate student in Marquette University’s then College of Journalism. At both, Kevin was considered by all to be the smartest and most creative one there. — Sandra Whitehead, Languages & Humanities Department Chair, Rafik Hariri University, Beirut Lebanon Elsewhere Online Follow me on Twitter.
