Dr. Darin Kennedy just had a new book come out from Falstaff for the first series he wrote. During his year-long deployment to Iraq in 2003 as an United States Army physician, he created the contemporary chess-based fantasy Pawn’s Gambit. This became a “trunk” book as he went on to hone his writing craft once home in between his day job being a family doctor.
He worked with short stories, publishing over twenty of them, including ones about April Sullivan: Necromancer for Hire which he has collected into a single book. And he wrote the amazing Fugue & Fable series, which I have talked about before, focused on orchestral music and a detective with some paranormal abilities.
But back to Pawn’s Gambit, the first of a series. If you read Mussorgsky Riddle before Gambit, you can see his growth as a writer. Even so, his love of the game of chess comes through on every page as well as influence of the superhero comics from his youth.
So many different interests, with a focus on the fantastic. Pick up something from the good Doctor – from Chess to Ballet, something is sure to delight.
