Kyle's story

Kyle was recognized for his storytelling at a young age, winning the first-place Gold Key award for fiction writing in Washington State.

Years later, after spending several years volunteering in his wife's elementary classrooms, he was inspired to write the Acea Bishop Trilogy, an action-packed fantasy adventure for young and old. He went on to write the Senses of Love series, five standalone love stories each told through one of the human senses, and then Protecting Home, an emotionally compelling father-and-son baseball novel in the spirit of Field of Dreams.

Kyle is motivated to share compelling stories regardless of genre. He narrates his own audiobooks, and he wrote and recorded the songs his character sings in The Sound of Love, released as the album The Soundtrack of Love under the name Guy + Guitar.

When he isn't writing, Kyle is also an attorney.

Kyle wrote Protecting Home after years of coaching his son’s baseball team and his daughter’s competitive softball team. Those seasons on the field, and the lessons a parent and child share there, became the heart of the novel.
