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.

Typical Madness

Disappointed this a.m. when I read in the NY Times that Mad Men has gone the way of The Sopranos and hit the brakes over money. Tsk-tsk. Isn't always like that? I'm sure some agreement will be reached, I mean, Weiner is certainly worth it. *Sigh* So many crabs fighting in a barrel in these tough times, and like a typical business vs.agency scenario...the first thing to get cut is "creative" and marketing budgets. Oh well.
