Kevin Snell writes about the cost of being seen.

Kevin Snell writes literary fiction and M/M romance about men who can no longer avoid what they want, what they've lost, or what another person has already seen in them.

His novels move from quiet marriages and psychological realism into explicit contemporary romance, supernatural danger, fantasy, and alien worlds. The settings change. Wanting another man still has consequences. His characters eventually run out of places to hide. They have to say what they want, admit what they've done, or decide whether they're staying.

His books include Rain by Midnight, I Loved You in Reverse, The Terms of Us, Claimed by the Ninth Orbit, Ice and Gravity, Still Life with Fugue, and How We Became Ourselves.

Inside a fourteen-year marriage, an Army unit, a restaurant, a hidden city, or an alien bond, telling the truth can cost a man the life he built. Someone has to stop performing long enough to let another man matter.

The ideas usually begin in things Kevin has lived, relationships he still thinks about, or conversations people have when they assume no one is listening. Sometimes it's an ordinary detail that makes him stop and think, Hmm. There's a story in that.

Kevin holds a degree in English. He has traveled across six continents and served as a sergeant in the United States Army's 82nd Airborne Division.

Across every genre, the questions remain much the same. What does it mean to be known? What does love demand? What remains when performance falls away?
