BIO

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.

Allow a Little Gloat

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." - Schopenhauer

So weird, but so cool. And for the record the story I have coming out in NEEDLE: A MAGAZINE OF NOIR this month illustrates some of the frustration G-Men fans go through. All I can say is, wow, Charlie Byrne definitely slept the sleep of kings last night. Onward.
