BIO

KIERAN SHEA’s fiction has appeared in dozens of venues including Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, Thuglit, Dogmatika, Word Riot, Plots with Guns, Beat to a Pulp, Crimefactory, and Needle: A Magazine of Noir ...as well as in some beefy-looking anthologies most of which will make you question the tether of his shiny, red balloon. To his self-deprecating astonishment he's also been nominated for the Story South’s Million Writers Award twice without sending the judges so much as a thank you note. He co-edited the satiric transgressive fiction collection D*CKED: DARK FICTION INSPIRED BY DICK CHENEY and his debut novel KOKO TAKES A HOLIDAY is out now from Titan Books. Kieran divides his time between 38°58′22.6″N- 76°30′4.17″W and 39.2775° N, 74.5750° W.

Everything Goes Gray: Wed.Edition

Lead Story over on Publishers Weekly. Hey, man. I know the importance of the First Amendment so spare me the hostile commentary defining the ropes and rules of the First Amendment 's prickly, boxing ring. I'm thinking it might be easier to huddle up and make new common sense laws just for zombie mothers and sickos into "crush" videos. Something along the lines of jettisoning those of less than stellar decency into, say, volcanoes? Excuse me while I go throw up.
