Kipjo K. Ewers was born on July 1, 1975. At an early age, he had an active imagination. By the time he started kindergarten, he would make up fictitious stories, one of his favorites was about a character named “Old Man Norris,” who hated everyone in the world except for him.
When he attended our Lady of Victory Elementary School in Mount Vernon, he continued writing and reading stories to his classmates. His teacher, Mrs. Green, told him the children would laugh, but she would remind them that some of the great stories they read came about were written.
After elementary school, he went to Salesian High School in New Rochelle, NY, then on to Iona College.
He would work for several major firms and companies within the New York area, but his passion was to become a journalist/writer.
Therefore, it is not surprising he decided to write his first book/novel.
Kipjo began working and creating a new superhuman universe, finding inspiration and solace in losing his first daughter due to an unfortunate miscarriage that devastated both his loving wife and him; he began writing a hero origin story now titled “The First.”
After publishing “The First” in 2013, Kipjo wrote two more follow-up novels to the series, a spin-off novel titled the Eye of Ra and a romantic supernature novel titled “Fred & Mary.”
Now known as the EVO Universe, Kipjo continues to write to expand the series and create new projects for the foreseeable future.

The First: Alternate Collection Destruction Cover by Kipjo Ewers starts out with a bang. Convicted murderer Dr. Sophia Dennison continues to proclaim her innocence. The state of Texas executes her but she didn’t stay dead; with a sudden gasp she came back to life. What ensued was mass chaos. Dennison broke loose from the restraints that had her strapped to the table. The guards tried to stop her but to no avail; she was out of control. With incredible strength that she had no idea she possessed, Dennison escaped the prison. Her body took on changes; she was growing; what was happening to her body? FBI Agent Mark Armitage is on the scene investigating the incident.
Author Kipjo Ewers has created an amazing tale falling under the genres of intrigue, action, adventure, sci-fi and fantasy. The plot is ingenious, imaginative, original and fast-paced with lots of twists and turns to keep the reader turning the pages. The dialogue is well done; it is natural, at times humorous, and very engaging. Part of the fun of this book was watching Sophia discover and explore her new powers. The author does an amazing job of demonstrating the emotions of a death row inmate such as the scene where Sophia is saying good-bye to two of the other inmates. The descriptions are well done, allowing the reader to visualize the scenes. I suspect this is book one in a new series. Let’s hope so for the author has created a superhero that will intrigue readers.
