Ken Mercer

Ken Mercer was born in Newark, New Jersey. He has written for newspaper, magazine, radio, television and feature films. He is the author of two novels: "Slow Fire" and "East on Sunset," both published by St. Martin’s Press.

In 1981, he was cast as a used car salesman in a feature film that was being shot by a director named FT Kosempa. FT assured Ken that it was not a case of typecasting.

As a director, he has been fortunate to work with cinematographers such as Allen Daviau and Curtis Clark, and production companies such as Propaganda Films. He is represented by Jeff Gerecke at G Agency (books) and Amy Schiffman at Echo Lake Entertainment (film).

Ken currently resides in the San Francisco Bay Area.
