Mark Kennedy got his start writing video games for the Intellivision console at Mattel Electronics, where his credits include the award-winning Kool-Aid Man game — dubbed the dumbest game of 1983. He has spent the last thirty-four years at Symantec/Broadcom, the last twenty-five in cybersecurity, where he is a Distinguished Engineer with over sixty issued patents. He co-founded the Anti-Malware Testing Standards Organization (AMTSO) and chaired the IEEE Security Working Group. He graduated cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Computer Science, which — combined with decades of reverse-engineering how systems break — gave him an abiding appreciation for the fact that every rule has a cost and somebody is always looking for the exploit. His research into Victorian-era criminal history has produced two academic papers on Jack the Ripper suspects, a subject that has intrigued him since seventh grade. His fiction draws on the same instinct: follow the evidence wherever it leads, even when the answer is uncomfortable. He currently resides in Las Vegas with his wife Chloe and a household of dogs and cats, three of whom are named Alex, Ruby, and Eric. He swears the dogs' names came first.
