The sixth of seven children, Kevin Hardman grew up with a love of all things fantastical: comics, sci-fi, fantasy, etc. If it was unreal or imaginary, he could relate to it. Over the years, he has found employment in a wide variety of professions, including - among other things - a stint in the military, working for UPS, in a research lab, as a waiter, and as a telephone survey taker. Somewhere in between all that, he found time to earn 3 degrees and foster his love of reading and writing. He has always been a voracious reader, but recently crossed trade lines to become an author. Since then, he has published the Kid Sensation novels, the Warden books, and the Fringe Worlds series. He is currently hard at work on the next book in each series.
