K. J. Pedersen has been writing stories since he was eight. His favorite assignments in elementary school were always creative writing projects. In high school, he was writing novel-length stories and screenplays for his own amusement. With several articles written for a local political journal in print, he decided recently to devote himself to writing fiction full-time.

Though Kailua, Kona, Hawai'i is home, K. J. presently lives in Holladay, Utah, where he is working on his next novel.
