Born in Terre Haute, Indiana, Kevin David Anderson is a genre-bending author known for his witty blend of horror, comedy, and pop culture. His breakout novel, Night of the Living Trekkies, about a zombie-infested Star Trek convention, earned critical acclaim, including a starred review from Publishers Weekly and a spot on the Washington Post's top five zombie novels of 2010. This cult classic, along with Anderson's follow-up, Night of the ZomBEEs, were required reading in several college courses, most notably How to Survive Your Freshman Year by Studying the Zombie Apocalypse at The University in Mansfield, Pennsylvania.

When not crafting chilling or comical narratives, Anderson enjoys spending time with family, exploring horror conventions and book festivals, and indulging his passion for geeky humor. Teaming up with his son, he wrote his first joke book, The Geektastic Joke Book for Kids, under the pseudonym Giggles A. Lott and Nee Slapper. His son has moved on to more serious pursuits (college), but Anderson has expanded the Joke Book series with STAR WARS: The Jokes Awaken and Jurassic Jokes: A Joke Book 65 million Years in the Making.  Before embarking on a writing career, Anderson honed his communication skills with a B.A. in Mass Communication from Fresno State and a successful decade in marketing.  He currently works as a teacher for students with special needs.
