About

No - in my photo I am not hiding a mustache or broccoli stuck in my teeth. In fact, I'm not sure why I put my hands there at all. Maybe it was to look mysterious, but that's not really me. I'm not a secretive person. If you met me face-to-face, you'd find that I'm an open book, a what-you-see-is-what-you-get, kinda guy. I think that comes across in the stories I tell. I always try to let the reader into the character's innermost thoughts - even if, and maybe especially if you won't agree. So, I hope you pick one up and enjoy it and then read another. Who knows, maybe in them you'll get to know me better.

Bradley J. Knefelkamp grew up in a small town dreaming of adventure. That dream has taken him spelunking in the caves of New Zealand, winter camping at -20 degrees below zero, and bouldering in the Bighorn Mountains. His first book, “Escape from Gehenna” came out of his love for adventure and the desire to tell a story about trust and hope. His other works include: “The Shoppe of Endarkenment”,“Reunion”, “Anti”, “Purgatory”, and most recently "Return to Gehenna" . Brad is married, has five children, and loves to hear from his readers.

How do you pronounce Knefelkamp?

It looks like a mouthful, as if someone tipped over a box of Russian Scrabble letters. But it’s a lot easier to pronounce than the passing glance leads you to believe. 

First of all, you say the K next to the N. “You mean it's not silent like in knife, knight, or knew?”

Know it’s knot. Newsflash - Knefelkamp isn’t English, so forget those rules for now. 

From there just pronounce EVERY letter. 

Here’s the breakdown:

The Kn at the beginning are both pronounced.

Next, efel is just like saying “F” “L”.

Lastly, kamp is just like camp - only without the mosquitoes.

There you have it. If you learned to read phonetically, this was a no-brainer.

Everyone else, keep up the good work and I commend you for the effort.
