Kevin Wright

Kevin Wright just can't stop sharing his love of history with the rest of the world -- his offices are littered with overstuffed bookshelves, antique maps, and collections of weapons on the walls. Born and raised in Illinois as a lifelong Chicagophile, he spent a few years teaching Argumentation and coaching the Debate Team at Illinois State University, but then settled into writing, teaching history classes, and pastoring in Central Illinois, as well as teaching Logic and Critical Thinking at Spoon River College. He's also husband to a very supportive wife, and father to two loving children (not including the dog).

His debut novel, The Knight of Cups, has garnered praise from reviewers, such as "There were times that I couldn't put it down because I just HAD to see what was going to happen to the characters" and "It is several genres that aren't usually combined, rolled into a cohesive and compelling tale. Somehow it manages to be suspenseful and hilarious at the same time." The Knight of Cups and its sequel, The Queen of Pentacles, are available in both paperback and Kindle formats.

His two volumes of short works (Blue Onions and Then Comes the Winter), and his new novel (Across a Sea of Starlight) are now available as well!
