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.

A great house guest brought me a pound of GORILLA COFFEE a week ago. Outstanding stuff. Just the thing to prime the creative engines for the long neglected projects. Deadlines and teaching seven-year-olds how to hit a tennis ball...meh...these things don't seem so daunting now. Life can be better with certain elements of chemistry. As a former chef I'm pretty picky when it comes to endorsing any food stuff, but the packaging alone, I mean, come on people! Get some here.
