A quiet and reclusive author, Ran Kime, born and raised in New Hampshire has forged a distinctive path as a musician, songwriter, and author. He wrote his first book in third-grade for a school project and the 'itch' stuck. Ran self-published his first short story collection, 'Way Past Tipsy & Other Silent Cries for Help...' in 2018. Next came its artistic sibling, 'Just Words: Volume 1- The Lyrics and Shenanigans of the dirty lil' trollops' in 2023. These collections follow Ran and his bandmates as they tour the east coast, playing in a rock band. His latest short story and poetry collection, 'Spectre of the Brocken: Halo for the Observer', debuted #1 on the bestseller list of his bookshelf in his own living room.

Kime's work touches on lost love, trauma, relationships, healing, loneliness, drinking, despair, and the exploration of the human psyche. He feels most at home when writing and performing his literature and music onstage and spending time with thought-provoking company.

Currently, Kime continues his literary portfolio with his upcoming auto-fiction book, "Memoirs of the Felmed Coof". Due out in 2025. All of Ran Kime's books are available at all major online bookstores.
