Ken Doyle was born in Bombay, India, into a family with Portuguese and Anglo-Indian roots. He lived there until graduating from St. Xavier’s College. He moved to the USA for graduate studies and obtained a PhD in molecular biology from Purdue University. Ken currently lives in Madison, Wisconsin with his family.
One of Ken’s early stories, written at the age of sixteen, was selected for inclusion in It Happened Tomorrow, an anthology of Indian science fiction published by the National Book Trust of India. The realities of graduate school and a career in the biotech industry forced a prolonged break from writing, until a friend introduced Ken to NaNoWriMo. These days, Ken’s writing spans several genres, including literary fiction and science fiction for young adults.
