BIO

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.

Spoonfeeding Lit

Mmm, I guess this is OK. But for a guy with a deep background in dramatic theater, I'm really suspicious. Then again it could be a welcome break from all this vampire-wizard silliness. I imagine the short essay answers in junior high will be peppered with dreamy descriptions of hunks du jour and teen queens if these take off.

Twelfth Night and R&J could work. But the Scottish play? Hamlet? The Tempest? Gruuuuh?
