So, like, yeah...there's like these totally unexplored oceans, right? 'Cha.. and I'm, like, thinkin' I could, like, y'know, be the first intergalactic surfer, y'know? Catch me a ride on one of the shuttles, brah, and totally--hold on a sec-- (rasp of a lighter, sound of bong chamber roiling. Pause. Exhale.) Where was I? Oh yeah. Spaceships. So like blast off to one of these planets and rip these tasty bomboras with not a single kook in the lineup, right? Awwwwesome.
Ladies and gentlemen, the set of your next sci-fi novel.
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.
