Keith Robert Andreassi DeCandido (born April 18, 1969 in New York, United States) is an American sci-fi and fantasy writer.

While DeCandido is best known for his Star Trek fiction, he has written tie-ins for other popular sci-fi and fantasy series as well, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Doctor Who, Supernatural, Andromeda and Farscape, as well as comic books (Spider-Man) and videogames (World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Command & Conquer). He has also edited various anthologies, including OtherWere, Urban Nightmares, Imaginings, the Doctor Who collection Short Trips: The Quality of Leadership, and the Star Trek anthologies New Frontier: No Limits, Tales of the Dominion War, and Tales from the Captain's Table.

DeCandido also serves as one of the cohosts of the twice-monthly popular-culture podcast The Chronic Rift.

[edit] Early life and education

DeCandido was born in the Bronx in New York City, the son of Robert L. DeCandido and GraceAnne A. DeCandido. He claims to have been a Star Trek fan even before his birth, as his parents were fans of Star Trek: The Original Series.

In his college years at Fordham University, DeCandido worked as the editor of the college newspaper, called simply the paper. After graduation, he has worked as editor in several publishing companies. Along with John Drew, in the 1990s he co-produced a public access TV show in Manhattan about science fiction called The Chronic Rift, which he also co-hosted. (The podcast of the same name is a revival of the show, with many of the same people involved in the production, including DeCandido and Drew.)

[edit] Music

DeCandido is also a professional musician. He was part of the Don't Quit Your Day Job Players for the band's entire career from 1996-2000, and played on both their CDs, TKB (1996) and Blues Spoken Here (1999). He is currently a member of the Boogie Knights, having joined in 2006 and played on their fifth CD, Many a Sleepless Knight (2006). He has also backed David M. Honigsberg, Steven L. Rosenhaus, and the Randy Bandits, and played on Rosenhaus's CD A Man Like Me (2002) and Honigsberg's Ten the Hard Way (2001).
