I disagree that short blunt remarks are all there is to be said about Kevin. After all, we spend much of our time attacking him for his involvement in the Dune franchise and talk about his blahgs on the Internet. If I am wrong, just say that he is in it for the money and that would be the end of it. Otherwhise we must understand that what he does really is his passion despite doing it badly.
Since he is the subject of so much of our anger and also of our amusement (not the quality of his works but the lack of quality), I believe it is very valid to discuss this interesting creature known as Kevin.
Kinda lost on what your wanting, I think most the posts hit it pretty much on the head. He is an egomaniac who thrives on mediocre literary awards and achievements, blows paid blurbs of praise to mountain top levels, deeply and truly wishing to be taken as one of the great sci fi writers of his era. He ignores all negative input, even if it is constructive, he considers Volume to be the way to achievement, not quality. What he does in his personal life isnt really a concern.
Its kinda hard not to make money when your putting that much volume out. He stumbled upon the DUNE franchise and has accelerated his take using the same techniques he has used in the other 'verses he works in.
If you want a psych profile, send him an email with questions and some roarshach blots, at this point I bet he see's dollar signs and dune in each print, and not much else.
Ill stick to my original profile: A literary assasin who is out for profit, has no remorse or concern for the damage he is doing. period. Its all about furthering the KJA success train.
