About
I am a bestselling novelist, ghostwriter, journalist, op-ed newspaper columnist, book doctor, and science writer. In my career prior to writing, I was a business owner, scientist, AI expert systems architect, consultant, and software and electrical engineer. While still in college, I started a small corporation to develop an e-car that I designed. I later founded CPrompt, a highly successful e-commerce strategy, software development, and consulting corporation, which I ran for over 20 years. You can learn more about me on my website (kevinbohacz.com).
Publisher’s Weekly has repeatedly written about my work and identified me as one of the “Writers Who Rocked Self-Publishing” and reported how my books “exploded” on Amazon (their words, not mine).
You can virtually meet me by taking a look at this 2025 video interview of me by the bestselling, award-winning author, Linda Whitaker, for her Substack “From Fact to Fiction.” The interview is about the ideas that went into my first bestseller, Immortality.

Here is the tiniest sample of the glowing editorial reviews I have received:
Publisher’s Weekly STARRED review of Immortality: “Bohacz’s vision of a humanity that faces the need to evolve profoundly or face certain destruction is as timely as today’s news and as chilling a doomsday scenario as any ecological catastrophe can suggest.”
Kirkus review of Immortality: “There is enough power in the premise to leave readers reeling. A novel that will surprise fans of science-fiction and doomsday scenarios.”
Sci-Fi Reader 4 Star review of Immortality: “This book manages to do what all the best sci-fi does—provide a thought-provoking, alternative viewpoint on the business of existence. I recommend you give it a go.”
Publisher’s Weekly STARRED review of Ghost of the Gods: “Bohacz provides mind-bending portrayals of factions vying for power and reflections on the essence and fragility of humanity. But philosophical concerns never obtrude on the fast-paced plot… The question of who can be trusted impels the reader to keep turning the pages of this highly satisfying and dynamic techno-thriller.”
Kirkus review of Ghost of the Gods: “If you thought Immortality was powerful, just wait until you read the sequel.”
Kirkus Reviews of Artificial: “A compelling and clever tale of AI run amok.”
Publisher’s Weekly “Editor’s Pick” (August 2024) review of Artificial: “Smart, surprising thriller of AI and advanced VR in a fractured America… This compelling tech-thriller of AI, a fractured America, and the ethics of digital and medical privacy, reveals itself, as its tense and thoughtful narrative develops, as a pointed thought-experiment. The setup to this novel from Bohacz (author of Ghost of the Gods) is urgently of-its-moment. Bohacz’s storytelling tends to be more explanatory than in most tech thrillers, emphasizing how everything works and what brought humanity to this brink rather than who is punching whom, but Artificial legitimately thrills, provokes, disturbs, and surprises as the pages fly by.”

Publisher’s Weekly STARRED review: Bohacz’s vision of a humanity that faces the need to evolve profoundly or face certain destruction is as timely as today’s news and as chilling a doomsday scenario as any ecological catastrophe can suggest….
Full Publisher’s Weekly STARRED review: When human extinctions occur in South America and spread worldwide, paleobiologist and genetic researcher Mark Freedman senses a connection to the Chromatium Omri bacteria, the oldest known life form on Earth linked to previous extinctions. The growing virulence in the “kill zones” spurs Freedman to join forces with Kathy Morrison, expert on viral and bacterial pathogens with the Centers for Disease Control. Despite personal losses, Freedman and Morrison find romance and make discoveries about the devastation and what lies behind it. Other colorful characters include dedicated policewoman Sarah Mayfair, whose horrific dreams and improbable survival enable contact with the forces behind the outbreaks; cynical Gen. James McKafferty, committed to preserving the U.S. at whatever cost; and Artie Hartman, goaded by his wife’s death to wage war on gangs and government forces indiscriminately. The seemingly random attacks and emergence of chaos allow Bohacz to explore such themes as whether humanity deserves to survive, the meaning of being human, and the cost of perfect health and immortality. The originality of Bohacz’s ideas is nearly equaled by detailed descriptions of a decontamination lab, the frenzied search for answers, and the aftermath of destruction. His vision of a humanity that faces the need to evolve profoundly or face certain destruction is as timely as today’s news and as chilling a doomsday scenario as any ecological catastrophe can suggest.
Sci-Fi Reader – S.J. Higbee: This book manages to do what all the best sci-fi does – provide a thought-provoking, alternative viewpoint on the business of existence. I recommend you give it a go. (read the full review)
“Speaking as an evolved Transhuman, I applaud this very entertaining, intelligent, and thought provoking journey to the edges of humanity.”
Danny Rubin, author and screenwriter of Groundhog Day.
“Immortality is a fine, tense, scientific mystery adventure that puts mankind in a challenge of survival with a short time limit. This is the way the world could end.”
Piers Anthony, author of 21 New York Times best-selling novels.
Immortality, the #1 best science fiction book of 2008 by W Thomas Payne No. 1 – “Immortality” by Kevin Bohacz capitalizes on the theme of impending environmental collapse and the rapid extinction of species that we read about daily in the national news. Following in the wake of the Hugo-award winning novel “Darwin’s Radio” (Greg Bear), Bohacz keeps the reader riveted with a tale of how the rules of evolution when being crushed by environmental factors could create new species that are “hidden” amongst us – including fellow members of the human race.
