KIERAN SHEA

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.

Scrolling the news on BBC this a.m. and hey, would you look at that, my sadsack P.I.Charlie Byrne was way ahead of the plastic surgery in the nether regions curve last Spring when David Cranmer posted my story MAINTENANCE over on Beat to a Pulp. Not that we need to revisit that story, Charlie's grown a bit since then, but if you want to jump here.
