33 years old and biracial, Kenton E. H. Ward is a science fiction writer residing in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Kenton was in the Honors Geology program at the University of Maryland but unfortunately could not complete his degree after he fell ill at the end of his junior year. Suffering from a debilitating form of both complex regional pain syndrome and central sensitization syndrome, he has since turned to an old passion: writing. He also enjoys gaming, watching movies, and eating pizza, and like many aspiring writers, he is an avid collector of form rejections.
