Kevin C. Mills

Kevin C. Mills has been an award-winning journalist for over 20 years. During his career he has written for the Lewiston Sun Journal, The Boston Globe, The Portland Press Herald and the Lynn Daily Evening Item, as well as freelancing for various newspapers and magazines.

He has been recognized multiple times by the Maine Press Association as well as the New England Press Association, the Maine Association of Basketball Coaches and the Maine Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association.

In addition to his work as a journalist, he published a novel, Sons and Daughters of the Ocean in October 2010. He followed that with a nonfiction work called Sidelined, based on his career as a sports journalist.

Sons and Daughters of the Ocean  is based loosely on the maritime history of various ancestors. The characters are rooted in true life experiences from the age of sail and portray an accurate account of life many generations ago. It is about three teens growing up in small Maine coastal village in which all lives are impacted by the fortunes of the sea.

Sidelined looks at journalism in a unique way. Reliving his own experiences with some of New England’s top newspapers, Mills presents strange but true episodes from his own career. He chronicles some of his favorite incidents with humor and wit while presenting the finished product, which barely hint at the story behind its publication.
