The General Backstory

K. C. Alexander is the author of the SINless series: transhumanist sci-fi called “a speed freak rush” by NYT bestseller Richard Kadrey, "slick, sharp and snarky" by NYT bestseller Chuck Wendig, and “a violent thrillride” by award-nominated Stephen Blackmoore. Nanoshock, the sequel to the well-received Necrotech, was labeled "a steel-fisted punch in the mouth" by bestseller Scott Sigler.Being a diehard Bioware fan, they were beyond thrilled to co-write Mass Effect Andromeda: Nexus Uprising with NYT bestseller Jason M. Hough—Bioware’s first novelization for Mass Effect: Andromeda, and a notch on the bucket list for a passionate fan. To celebrate, they finally went out and got that N7 tattoo they've always wanted.Their first transhumanist short story, “Four Tons Too Late”, debuted at Fireside magazine way back before they transitioned into SF/F. In 2023, it was included in the epic cyberpunk collection The Big Book of Cyberpunk—thereby fulfilling another dream.Their specialties include voice-driven prose, an obscene love of profanity, and imperfect characters doing imperfect things. Genre aside, they write whatever they want.Before they began writing full time, K. C. wore the adult skin of a web designer—though whose skin remains a matter of speculation. They prefer animals to humans, insists on a pyre or cannibalism when they die (or both), and otherwise lives life as an author, gamer, hermit; mostly just this guy, you know?As a genderqueer mostly-human (occasional outer god) with Bipolar Syndrome and a brutal case of ADHD, they have worked hard to shape their life and refuses to be held to standards not their own.Equality and equity advocate; a compassion or GTFO kind of person. Definitely not your granddad’s SF/F author.
