“As I was born with cerebral palsy, I utilize an eyegaze-driven computer to pen my novels, screenplays, and short stories.” – Kevin Enners.

Kevin Enners is an author and Communication Project Manager for The Kyle Pease Foundation, whose mission is to improve the lives of those with disabilities through sports and beyond.

Please introduce yourself.

My name is Kevin Enners. I am an author with cerebral palsy. I write thrillers. 

What genres do you create art and why?

I love thrillers (particularly crime thrillers and horror thrillers). These genres were the most interesting to me as a kid. I was enthralled by works by Edgar Allan Poe, R. L. Stine, and Michael Connelly when I was growing up. I loved the mystery, the suspense, the thrills! I was enamored by the way they crafted their stories, and I wanted to learn the craft and how to capture readers’ attention the way they did mine. 

I started writing when I was in second grade. It was for a class project. After presenting it to my teacher and OI teacher, they said to my mom, “Your son has a gift.” 

Writing turned into a sort of equalizer for me. Due to my dysarthria, speaking my mind can be cumbersome and a bit awkward. So, the best way for me to express myself is through writing. And, as technology advanced over the years, it enabled me to become better and really hone the art. 

I’m honestly not sure why I write thrillers, but it’s kind of a catch-all genre. You can write Crime, Horror, Scifi, Romance, even comedy (in small doses). You can basically write whatever and portray it as a thriller. When my mind starts going, when I’m out doing stuff (sometimes when I ride my adaptive bike) , I wonder, “What if there is a robbery? Or a random guy comes out of the woods?” Stories like that are really interesting to me. 

What is your earliest memory of reading?

My parents read to me when I was really young (2 or 3 years old). They read books like “Good Night Moon” and “The Mouse and the Motorcycle” and “The Old Man and the Sea.” On a visit to my grandmother, we were at a bookstore, I found a children’s version of a collection of short stories by Edgar Allan Poe. I devoured that book. I read it by myself (my parents or sisters or parpros would turn the pages. They couldn’t turn them fast enough. I was so engrossed in his stories.)  I really wanted to write like Poe. 

When did you know you wanted to create art? How did it happen?

As explained above, I wrote a story for my second grade class. It was a project that everyone had to do. At the time, I was very big into James Bond. So, I wrote a story where Bond had retired from MI6,had gotten married, and had a son. The former spy was at his exotic villa when an enemy captured the former spy and his lover. Suddenly, Bond and his lover were abducted by a vengeful enemy as their son was out buying groceries. When the son, Kevin Bond (original, right?) returned, he found the villa in disarray, and his parents, gone. So, Kevin Bond takes action, and recruiting his father’s closest allies like Felix Liter, he sets out to find his parents. 

What’s one of your favorite scenes in one of your works?

In my novella, The Crave, at the climax, Mike Craven and Jim Miller end up at a dead-end in their search for Miller’s daughter, Katelyn. But, Mike knows his arch rival, Alistair Creasy, took her. So, he decides to become the bait as Alistair Creasy sees him as a threat because Mike knows about certain operations from which Creasy is profiting and gaining more influence in Boston’s criminal network. Creasy captures Mike and takes him away from the city, to the of nowhere, where (supposedly) no one can find them to kill him. Creasy and his followers drag Mike into the catacombs and tie him up where Katelyn and another woman are being held hostage. I like this scene because it shows both Mike’s strength (his boldness, despite his cerebral palsy) and his flaw (his naivety). Eventually, all hell breaks loose, and in that moment, Mike decides to act and save Katelyn. 

These scenes are particularly important because they show the guy with CP being the hero. There’s not enough protagonists with disabilities that seem capable enough to save the day when it’s time. There is always some side character who helps them, and I wanted to make the point that when that moment comes, when our backs are against the wall, against all odds, people with disabilities are perfectly capable of stepping up, saving the day, rescuing the girl (and getting the girl). We are just like any one else and should be treated like anyone else. 

What makes a good character? A bad one?

In my opinion, the good guys and bad guys should be similar. The good guy needs a flaw that the bad guy can exploit, and the bad guy needs to appear almost impossible to destroy, but is relatable. What I mean is that the line between them should be blurred or almost invisible so that the reader can relate to both. But, the villain has to be the villain and the hero has to be the hero. There has to be tension, not only between them, but between them, the supporting characters, and between them and their world as well. Thus, the good guy might not necessarily be all good, and the bad guy might not necessarily be all bad. You gotta craft them in a way that balances the story. 

What moves the story for you?

Characters. Because characters should have emotions and go through an emotional journey with the reader. Because we have emotions and we want to see ourselves in the characters. I see myself in Mike Craven, though I might not be walking through seedy parts of town, looking for a cult. 

What is your favorite book and why?

My favorite book is The Poet by Michael Connelly. Out of all his novels, I feel like he was the most honest when he wrote that one. The story moves quickly and Connelly’s main character, Jack McEvoy seems very real and, when I read it, I could vividly picture the scenes in my head. The story seemed authenticate, natural, descriptive, yet not so much that you get bogged down with pointless details. It’s the essence of what a thriller should be. 

What do you want to say to your audience?

(Haha, assuming I have an audience) I want to thank everyone who has read The Crave, and has subscribed to my blog, Midnight Murmurs. I have a few books coming down the pike soon, within the next year. I am grateful for your continued support. Honestly, you make me feel like I have a voice and my voice matters. I really appreciate your reviews of The Crave on Amazon, both good and bad. 

For the people who have disabilities and have read The Crave or Midnight Murmurs, or anything else that I have written, thank you. I write for you, in hopes of being your voice, creating characters that you see yourselves in, writing storylines that you find thrilling and engaging. Maybe, my work will inspire you to pursue your own passions. If it’s in your heart and your gut, if it gives you meaning or purpose in your life, pursue that passion, hold on to it, and never ever let it go. Only you can make your mark in this world. 

What advice do you have for new artists?

Before Bobby Nash, I was mentored by another author. Her pen name is/was Kate Brady. When I asked her what advice about writing she would give, she said, “If you can, stop. If you can, don’t write another word. The world of writing and publishing a book is hard. The life of a writer is hard. But if you have to, if it’s in your gut, if you’re constantly thinking about that novel you want to write, do it. Write it because only you can write that book.”

Do you have anything else you would like to add?

I would like to thank Bobby Nash for getting us connected. He is a terrific guy, a great writer, and a great mentor. I can send him an email about anything that pops into my head and will respond within a day. He has exposed me to new and great opportunities to promote myself and my work as an author. And he’s just a really good guy. 

As I polish my manuscript, I would like to invite potential readers to read stories on my blog, Midnight Murmurs. 

I would also like to thank Action Pulp for highlighting me.
