About Kevin Hearne

Maybe being born and raised in Arizona has had an influence on American author, Kevin Hearne. Since many UFO stories come from the western states who have wide open spaces, maybe Hearne got the idea of being an urban fantasy novelist. Growing up hearing about UFO sightings perhaps gave him a bigger interest than most in the fantasy subject.

Hearne is the author of novels published by Del Rey in the fantasy book series, The Iron Druid Chronicles, plus the 2015 Star Wars novel, Heir to the Jedi. Prior to his writing career, he was a high school English teacher. He moved from Arizona to Colorado. He now lives there with his wife and son. He is known as a "tree hugger", likes dogs, and heavy metal.

Books to come out very soon are......Besieged, a collection of new Iron Druid stories, to be out July 11, and A Plague of Giants, the first book of The Seven Kennings, to be out in October.

We were getting more content in that world! And Hearne delivers all the wit and heart that you would expect from Oberon, Starbuck, a......more

Goodreads review by Emilie on April 02, 2025

Do NOT sleep on the bloopers at the end. Luke has conversations with himself in multiple voices from the book when he messes up!!!! Overall I probably preferred the interaction between Oberon, Atticus and Starbuck over the bath time stories. I loved the handling of the prophecy and Oberon holds up h......more
