About the author

R. M. Kiser is a storyteller from Kingsport, Tennessee whose fiction finds its way to people who are hurting, questioning, or quietly searching for something true. Writing began as an anniversary gift for his wife of nearly 31 years. After her passing in early 2025, the stories kept coming — and they still do. She is somewhere in all of them, even the ones that do not look like grief. His work spans mythic fantasy, contemporary fiction, faith-based parables, and a foster-care series that gives voice to those too often unheard. He writes characters shaped by crisis and survival, grounding them in emotional truth without flinching. A proud father to a son adopted from foster care and a committed community theater volunteer, Kiser lives surrounded by one puppy and three cats. His work does not promise resolution. It promises presence — the quiet, sustaining sense that someone else has seen what you are carrying and did not look away.
