C. Kevin Thompson
C. Kevin Thompson started formulating the idea of The Serpent’s Grasp in April 2006, after seeing a replica of a dinosaur hanging from the ceiling in a store at a Florida theme park. Later that month, on the balcony of a condominium in Cocoa Beach with a pen and legal pad in hand, he scrawled the first words in a penmanship only he could decipher. Born November 10, 1962 into a self-employed, small-business-owning family in Central Florida, Kevin was due to inherit the business along with his brother. That was the family’s plan. Kevin had other dreams of being a professional musician (drummer). However, God’s plan superseded all the others. Now, years later, Kevin is an ordained minister, having served churches in New York, Mississippi, Texas, and Iowa. He holds a B.A. in Bible from Houghton College (New York), an M.A. in Christian Studies from Wesley Biblical Seminary (Mississippi), and an M. Ed. in Educational Leadership from National-Louis University (Illinois). Kevin is married to Cindy, his wonderful wife of over 30 years, and they have three daughters, two sons-in-law, and three grandchildren. He speaks in churches on occasion, presently works as an assistant principal in a local school district, and plays the drums in his church’s praise team. He is a huge fan of the TV series 24 and Criminal Minds, loves anything to do with Star Trek, and reads lots of books, thrillers mostly. His previously published works—all articles—have appeared in such publications as The Wesleyan Advocate, The Preacher, and Vista, as well as in newspapers such as The Des Moines Register (Iowa) and The Ocala Star-Banner (Florida). Kevin currently lives in Florida and is working on his next novel, a thriller based on Jeremiah 8:15. He says this novel will scare the “bajeebers” out of his readers and make them not want to open their mail, send their children to school ever again, and cause them to question their allegiances, allies, and alliances.
