Kyle Garrett was born in Upland, California, the eldest of two boys. Ever since a young age, Kyle has maintained an interest in creating and telling stories. After a number of years without having written, his love for the writing would become reignited in his early twenties, and after much encouragement from his wife decided to pursue a career as an author. Inspired by authors such as Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti, Kyle's writings draw upon the desire to present stories that are not only powerful and inspired, but also gritty and raw; stories that speak of the very real darkness in this world, but the equally real and even more powerful light and love of God and His power to change the human heart. Kyle continues to reside in Southern California with his wife Taryn and son Theodore.
