Yesterday, I decided enough was enough of working on the futuristic "western" WIP involving corporate bounty hunters, a hijacked septic tanker, religious wingnuts, a speech-impaired travel agent, etc. Sent the sprawling bastard off to a beta-1st reader. Ooooh, the dreaded unzipping of the fly. Yeah, I expect a full beating in maybe two or three months when he comes up for air from whatever else is on his over-burdened plate. My mind is still ticking like an engine with ideas on how to fortify the tale, but sometimes you have to take a step back and let somebody else sniff out the bad cheese jammed under the hood. Besides, I need the break to work on a couple of shorts I've promised people. Tonight though it's time to unplug and see Virginia's own...Eddie From Ohio.
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.
