Kenny Dupar survived heart failure, commanded soldiers in combat, and learned to write in the gaps between chaos.
An Army veteran with multiple deployments to Southwest Asia, Dupar got married, became a father, earned his Captain's bars, took command of a hundred soldiers, and went into heart failure—all in three months in 1999. He's feeling much better now.
War gave him something to write about. What started as therapy—goofy vignettes to make himself laugh or cry in his beer—became an obsession. "Nothing tingles my brain like smithing words to make a reader feel what I will have them feel."
His fiction explores working-class lives, subcultures, and the spaces where nostalgia and modern reality collide. He favors observation over judgment, dark humor over sentimentality, and characters who don't get reset buttons. Pin Up Dolls and Classic Cars was interrupted by COVID—when love stories took a hard twist and the world slowed down just long enough to expose what people were already carrying.
A self-described scoundrel who could be playing golf but finds writing more fun, Dupar lives in East Tennessee, retired and still running the race at 57.
