Kevin G. Summers est un auteur à succès et primé, reconnu pour son travail dans la fiction originale ainsi que dans des univers établis. Son roman "The Bleak December" a été nominé pour le Dragon Award en 2017, et son roman "Legendarium" a également reçu des critiques élogieuses. Summers a également été commissionné pour écrire plusieurs nouvelles dans la franchise "Star Trek", dont "Isolation Ward 4", qui a été shortlistée pour les Nebula Awards en 2002.
Summers a grandi dans une famille du nord de la Virginie où les héros populaires étaient des auteurs. Dès son plus jeune âge, il a été exposé à la littérature grâce aux études de maîtrise de sa mère à l'université George Mason, où il a assisté à des conférences données par des auteurs notables tels que John Gardner et John Irving. Cette exposition précoce à la littérature a suscité chez Summers un amour de toute une vie pour la lecture, qui s'est épris des œuvres d'auteurs tels que Stephen King, Kurt Vonnegut, JRR Tolkien, John Steinbeck et Thornton Wilder. Dans son temps libre, Summers pouvait souvent être trouvé en train de regarder "Star Trek" ou de jouer à "Dungeons & Dragons."
Malgré le succès que Summers a trouvé dans sa carrière d'écrivain, il a également fait face à des défis et à des revers. Dans le passé, il a auto-publié plusieurs romans via Amazon KDP, mais son compte a été résilié après avoir été accusé d'avoir plusieurs comptes, une accusation qu'il nie. La résiliation de son compte a été particulièrement difficile pour Summers, car elle représentait un investissement de 20 ans dans sa carrière d'écrivain et on ne lui a pas donné l'occasion de faire appel ou de parler à un représentant humain. L'expérience a laissé Summers déprimé et il s'est tourné vers l'alcool, ce qui a finalement conduit à une fin tragique.
