  1. Born and raised in the middle of the American Midwest, Dennis Sharpe has been a writer as long as he can remember His mother has told many people about the fantasy and science fiction stories he d write on scraps of paper, and staple together as his books , before he d attended his first day of formal education.He has spent many late nights at diners and dives, drinking coffee with a tattered notebook to put a voice to his feelings of himself and the world around him, and other worlds that can exist only in fiction The voices in his head don t ever stop talking to him, and so sooner or later he has to get out onto a page all that they ve filled him up with.Inspired by Neil Gaiman, Kurt Vonnegut, Frank Miller, Joss Whedon, Chrissie Pappas, Charles Bukowski, Stephen King, Douglas Adams, Issac Asimov, and countless classic literary influences, Dennis continues with the ability to write what at a glance might seem absurd, but quickly begins to resonate with our own thoughts and emotions He writes people we know, love we ve known and lost and found again , and places we ve been in our lives and in our heads Even his fictional characters and worlds carry enough of the grey areas we experience in day to day life, to let us find the truth in his words, no matter how fantastic.These days he can be found still writing, drinking coffee with friends, or spending time with his children the true joys of his life , in Western Kentucky.
