“K.J.Heritage’s uncanny sense of pacing and story puts him at the
forefront of today’s speculative fiction writers.”
Samuel Peralta, bestselling US Today author and creator of The Future Chronicles
When K.J.Heritage isn’t penning third-person descriptions about himself, he’s an international bestselling author writing the books he likes to read. From military/action science fiction and adventure to contemporary mysteries, crime thrillers, comedy, and paranormal fantasy. He should really stick to one genre, but he’s not that kind of writer... or reader.
His first short story, Escaping the Cradle was runner-up in the 2005 Clarke-Bradbury International Science Fiction Competition. His other short stories have appeared in several anthologies with such self-publishing sci-fi luminaries as Hugh Howey and Samuel Peralta.
K.J.Heritage’s short story, Churchill’s Rock, part of the Chronicle Worlds: Legacy Fleet anthology, will be aboard the Astrobotic’s Peregrine Lunar Lander set for launch on the United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan Centaur rocket platform bound for the surface of the moon in 2024.
K.J.Heritage has worked all the requisite ‘writer jobs’ such as driver’s mate, factory gateman, barman, labourer, telesales operative, sales assistant, warehouseman, IT contractor, Student Union President, university IT helpdesk guy, British Rail signal software designer, Premiership football website designer, gigging musician, company director, graphic designer, stand-up comedian, sound engineer, improv artist, magazine editor and web journo... Although he doesn’t like to talk about it. Mostly... Maybe a little bit.
He was born in the UK in one of the more interesting previous centuries. Originally from Derbyshire, he now lives in the seaside town of Brighton. He is a tea drinker, cancer survivor, and neurodiverse (ASD) human being.
