Ken Carman has been writing since he was five. That's right: his Kindergarten teacher asked the student to write a book, thinking students would tape pieces of hair, pictures of their puppies and parents into the small booklet they all made in class. Ken wrote an actual book. Since then, Ken has been an editor of two literary magazines, a songwriter, an entertainer who writes one-man musicals he performs for the very young. "Autocide" is his first book for adults.
