Author Information...
Kiprono Mutai is a seasoned Navy sailor, healthcare professional, and writer. Born and raised in the rural parts of Kenya, he developed a strong work ethic and deep respect for community values at an early age. Inspired by his late father, he has journeyed across continents, first as a student-athlete in the United States, where he pursued studies in public health, and later as a dedicated service member in the U.S. Navy. Throughout his career, Kip has balanced multiple roles—serving as a military Hospital Corpsman, advancing his education in public health and healthcare administration, and passionately mentoring others. His commitment to duty, family, and personal growth is evident in every aspect of his life. Now with a wealth of experiences both on land and at sea, he shares his story in Forged by the Sea, a testament to the courage, resilience, and adventure that have defined his life in the Navy. When not serving his country or penning their next story, Kip enjoys time with his loving spouse, children, and extended family, drawing strength from their support and the lessons learned along the way.

author of Avoiding Self Imposed Adversities
From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

author of Children: My Heritage - A Testimony
The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.

Needless to say, I’ve found a home here at Outskirts Press.
