Inside of us all is a story waiting to be told

I'm Kevin Collier. I welcome you to beautiful Grand Haven, Michigan, a quaint port city along the Lake Michigan shoreline where my wife, Kristen, and I make our home.
I am an author of many books, illustrator of over 150 children's picture books and also engage in video editing and production work. Nearly 100 of my entertainment videos appear on several streaming TV channels and online.
Born April 27, 1957, I grew up in Muskegon, Michigan with an early interest in illustration and storytelling. At age 13 I wrote and illustrated comic books, which I sold to neighborhood children, and later published several offset print comic books. I also created comic strips for several West Michigan newspapers while working as artist/designer for our hometown newspaper from 1981 to 2015.
In 2004, I became a published author with my first book "barthpenn@heaven.org," a Christian tale of a boy who exchanged emails with an angel. I have written many genres of books including adventure, history, and the motion picture industry. I also author a series of animation books for Cartoon Research, and am a member of the Spring Lake Winsor McCay Park committee.
I am a person of faith, I trust in my Father for all things and appreciate everyone He has sent my way who have beneficially influenced my life. Special thanks to my beautiful wife, for her daily encouragement. I adore her more every day.

Originally written by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood, "The Bat" was a successful stage play in vaudeville before Roland West bought the rights to the work to make a motion picture. The result was a creepy who-done-it mystery that featured a masked, caped figure who prowled around at night. Bob Kane, the creator of the comic book hero Bat-Man, pointed to this movie, made 13 years before the caped crusader made his debut in Detective Comics #27 in 1939, as the inspiration for creating Bat-Man. The film presented a bat man character, who had a large cape, bat horns on his head, used a utility belt bag to climb as scale buildings, and even beamed a 'bat signal' announcing his presence. Thus, "The Bat" presents us with the very first Bat Man. Read about the book on The Batman Universe site. Visit the book page here.
