Kyle is a U.S. Navy veteran who now flies the Airbus A320 family for a major U.S. carrier. Unknown Sky, his debut, is the first novel in the Cole Shepherd series. It began as a simple question on a long overnight flight to Anchorage: what would a crew actually do if the world ended somewhere between top of climb and top of descent? Before the airlines, Kyle served in the U.S. Navy, an experience that shaped Cole Shepherd's former life as a submarine XO. Kyle lives in Arkansas with his family. Book 2 is underway, picking up in the deep winter of a town at capacity and reaching its breaking point.
