Autorenporträt
Karl Michael "K.M." Dehmelt is a writer and a graduate of the Loyola University Maryland Writing program in Baltimore who has lived everywhere from Coopersburg, Pennsylvania to Madrid, Spain. Originally from the East Coast of the United States, his fourth book, and science fiction debut, Daft Mejoräs Infinite Madness (Or How to Travel Near America with Friends), has been favorably compared to Kurt Vonnegut. Currently, he is early at work on multiple projects, including more long-form satire, as well a non-fiction project related to his experience as a survivor of a traumatic brain injury and the complexities of navigating the world with a brain he newly learned has been altered from the healing process. He is grateful for his writing, his life, his family, and his true friends.
