Kevin Wayne (K. W.) Jeter (
1950-) is an American
science fiction author known for his literary writing style, dark themes, and paranoid, unsympathetic characters. Many of his books focus on the subjective nature of reality in a way that is reminiscent of the works of his longtime friend,
Philip K. Dick. As well as his own original novels, K. W. Jeter has written a number of authorized sequels to
Philip K. Dick's
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, the story that was ultimately adapted into the critically acclaimed
1982 motion picture
Blade Runner. Even though Mr. Jeter regularly writes novels for
Alien Nation[?],
Star Wars and various
Star Trek franchises, he also continues to publish original books and screenplays.
He currently lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife, Geri.
