  • Reading: Savages (Excerpt #2)

    I started my reading practice videos with Savages. Fitting as it is my first book. Months later, we are back at Savages again. Have I gotten any better? You tell me… You can find Savages here (including audiobook!): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C2T88RZ/ Christina Bergling https://linktr.ee/chrstnabergling

  • Savages Apocalypse Years Later

    New mic, who this? Darth Vader, apparently 😆 I wrote Savages amidst the post-apocalyptic zombie craze. How do I feel about it years later after a global pandemic and watching people freak out over toilet paper? And how do you feel about it? Find Savages here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C2T88RZ/ Christina Bergling https://linktr.ee/chrstnabergling

  • Savages: Inspiration in the Darkness

    Savages: Inspiration in the Darkness

    I don’t know why depression and writing walk hand in hand for me. Mania and writing surely do not, though I would love to fuel my craft with that energy. There is just a certain point in the descent, a certain shade in the darkness where my mind unfurls and all the words pour down…

  • Collaboration!

    Mini vlog talking (bullshitting) with Phil Beachler about our collaborations on my book covers and other endeavors. Should we start a podcast next? Hell no!

You can find Kevin here: https://www.kevinjkennedy.co.uk/You can…

  • What Savages is Really About

    Since this pandemic started (or more since people began reacting to it), I have heard multiple times, “Your book Savages makes so much sense now” or “I really see what you meant in Savages” or “It’s just like you wrote about in Savages.” The goal of any writer is to produce a work that is…

  • Book Clubbing and Comic Conning

    Being a published author, even on the smallest of scales, remains a perpetually surreal experience. A couple weeks ago, I attended my first book club. This experience was especially unique because it was also the first time (to my knowledge) that my book, Savages, was the book said club read that month. Even though this book…

  • Launching Savages

    Savages is fully launched and out upon the world! ebook is released; paperback is released. And finally, I threw a launch party and book signing to commemorate it. Rather than maintain a professional veneer of a polished, public author, I am going to be more raw in my account of my release. More personal and…
