When K.J.Heritage isn't penning third-person descriptions about himself for online consumption, he's an international bestselling author writing the books he likes to read. From psychological thrillers and mystery sci-fi to crime, action & adventure, and epic fantasy. He should really stick to one genre, but he's not that kind of writer... or reader.

KJ's first sci-fi short story, ‘ESCAPING THE CRADLE’ was runner-up in the 2005 Clarke-Bradbury International Science Fiction Competition.

Other stories have appeared in several anthologies with such self-publishing sci-fi luminaries as Hugh Howey, Samuel Peralta and Michael Bunker.

KJ’s short story, CHURCHILL’S ROCK, part of the ‘Chronicle Worlds: Legacy Fleet’ anthology, is aboard the Astrobotic's Peregrine Lunar Lander, launched on the United Launch Alliance's Vulcan Centaur rocket platform in January 2024, which was supposed to land on the Moon, but hey, technical problems...

KJ has worked all the requisite ‘writer jobs' such as driver's mate, factory gateman, barman, labourer, telesales operative, sales assistant, warehouseman, IT contractor, Student Union President, university IT helpdesk guy, British Rail signal software designer, premiership football website designer, gigging musician, graphic designer, stand-up comedian, sound engineer, improv artist, magazine editor and web journo... Although he doesn't like to talk about it. Mostly. Well maybe a little bit.

KJ was born in the UK in one of the more interesting previous centuries. Originally from Derbyshire, he now lives in the seaside town of Brighton. He is a tea drinker, cancer survivor, avid Twitterer (@kjheritage, and neurodiverse (ASD) human being.
