Kevin David Anderson currently lives in Southern California. Before becoming a writer, Anderson earned a B. A. in Mass Communication (TCOM) with a focus on Media Production from CSUF (Fresno State). He worked as a marketing professional for more than a decade, during which he managed award-winning campaigns for both television and radio.
Anderson’s debut novel, the geeky, cult zombie classic Night of the Living Trekkies is a funny, offbeat zombie novel exploring the pop culture carnage that ensues when the undead crash a Star Trek convention. The Washington Post listed it as one of the top five Zombie novels of 2010.
Night of the Living Trekkies and Anderson’s follow up, Night of the ZomBEEs, have become required reading in college courses, most notably the class designed for incoming freshman, How to Survive Your Freshman Year by Studying the Zombie Apocalypse, at Mansfield University in Pennsylvania.
Anderson’s short stories have appeared in almost a hundred publications, from anthologies and magazines to podcasts and radio dramas, in multiple languages and on every continent, excluding Antarctica. Anderson was the first American to be published in the award-winning South African Horror Magazine, Something Wicked. Dozens of his stories have been turned into audio productions by voice talents like Jason Hill, Rish Outfield, and Mur Lafferty, on Parsec Award-winning podcasts like Pseudopod, The Drabblecast, The Dunesteef, and on the very popular Simply Scary Podcast and the No Sleep Podcast.
Anderson also produces pop culture joke books for fans of all ages under the pen name Giggles A. Lott & Nee Slapper. Titles include The Geektastic Joke Book 4 Kids, Jurassic Jokes: A Book 65 Million Years in the Making, Star Wars: The Jokes Awaken, and the Star Trek-themed Deep Space Jokes: Going where no joke book has gone before… For more information on Anderson visit KevinDavidAnderson.com.
