About
Robert P. Kaye writes fiction of various lengths and genres. Stories have appeared (or will) in Best Small Fictions 2024, Moon City Review, New Letters, Prime Number, Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet and many other fine litpubs and word rags. Stories have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, Best of the Web, and Best Small Fictions. He facilitated the Works in Progress open mic at Hugo House in Seattle for over eight years (over 4500 open mic slots served). He is currently an editor for Pacifica Literary Review.
He began writing late in life after Salon magazine selected his entry [“A fool and his money are soon automated”] as the winner in a Best Technology Epigram contest. One hit and he became addicted to publishing stories. This is your brain on fiction.
Literary influences include writers who often find reality to be insufficiently interesting, including George Saunders, Kelly Link, Karen Russell, Aimee Bender, Colson Whitehead, Haruki Murakami, Kevin Wilson and others.
His professional career was spent as a mythologist in information technology, which is science fiction minus the fun.
He lives in Seattle, Washington.
