Name: Kerry Alan Denney
Website: www.kerrydenney.com
I’m a thirty year veteran performing and recording guitarist, and a six year veteran
of writing fiction. I’ve performed all over the southeast, anywhere from obscure
holes-in-the-wall to The Fox Theater, The Masquerade, The Roxy, and Variety
Playhouse, among many others. I’m a “shredder”, as well as a compositional
musician, and have written, recorded, and produced three independently released
CDs: Kerry Denney’s Self-Indulgence, Inc. (1999 – available using link below);
Angel Down (2001); and Bully Hayes (2003). They’re all hard rock with a 70’s
and 80’s flavor. In 2004, I switched from music to pursue writing fiction, a lifelong
dream, and have since written five novels and numerous poems and short stories.
I’m the First Place Winner of the Atlanta Writers Club Fall 2009 Poetry Contest.
My writing encompasses a handful of crossover genres: paranormal/ supernatural,
sci-fi, horror, and thrillers. All of my novels are character-driven, and the plot
always involves elements of the fantastic. I’m currently hard at work finishing my
sixth novel, JAGANNATH, a sci-fi action adventure, and shopping for an agent
for my fifth novel SOULSNATCHER, a paranormal thriller, of which the first
three chapters have been published on three consecutive days on weirdyear.com
and yesteryearfiction.com. Check out my samples using the links below (and see
the numerous positive supportive comments!) and go to my website and leave me
some feedback!

Congratulations, Kerry. Your work is fantastic. I can't wait to walk into a bookstore and see your books on the shelf. Keep at it -- your day is coming!
I can honestly say that Kerry is one of my favorite authors. I've read one full novel and quite a bit of another, as well as some of his short fiction. Kerry knows how to grip the reader at the onset and not let go. His characters are fully fleshed out and endearing...or terrifying, depending on their role. As a fellow writer/author, I can honestly and enthusiastically recommend his works to anyone who likes to read. (How's that for too many adverbs? But Kerry deserves them all!)
Kerry is a craftsman. He excels in layering his stories in ways that are magical and compelling. I enjoy his writing and look forward to celebrating his success when the publishing world wises up and stops pushing books by wannabe rock stars and failed politicians and puts Kerry's work on the shelf for all of us to enjoy.
Anyone who enjoys the suspenseful and intense psychological thrillers of Poe, Hitchcock, Lovecraft, Straub, Barker, Koontz or King will be blown away by the fantastic and frighteningly vivid works of Kerry Alan Denney. The artistic fervor with which he illuminates his protagonists compels the reader to identify with them from a deeply compassionate perspective. Unequivocally, the authenticity and complexity of his characters are immensely captivating and set his work apart from that of the typical authors of his genre. I genuinely believe that Kerry's boundless imagination and unfathomable devotion to his passions, writing and music, will ultimately result in tremendous success. Read or get out of the way! :)

I've known Kerry since 1988, when he first appeared on my stage! I've successfully booked him for over 15 years, throughout all phases and changes, and have never grown tired of listening to his music. Intelligent and straightforward, compassionate and genuine, Kerry possesses a talent to please music lovers of all ages and tastes. Whether an enigmatic and engaging instrumental or a rocking, all member participation, Kerry's unique writing style and musical prowess makes him amongst the art's sexiest and enjoyable musicians. This crosses over into his authorship, providing the scenes, characters, and dialogue for some of the best reading I've ever experienced. Artist of the week translates into Artist of the Year for some very lucky Publisher! Get him before someone else does!
I am so excited about your upcoming publications!!! I can't wait to get my copies! Woohoo! you and your writing....AWESOME isn't good enough a description!
