edit data

Kieran is a Belfast-born author. He wrote his first novel at age 5 - he also received his first rejection letter at this age. He has been writing ever since and has produced his debut novel The Forgotten Sister, an Arthurian retelling, in 2016. This was continued with two more additions to the Tales of Camelot series, as well as Mists Over Newbroke, a chilling gothic horror novella.

Inspired by the books of his childhood, Kieran writes the type of stories he wants to read - exciting tales full of compelling characters with believable motivations, captivating locations, a strong female presence and, most importantly, magic.

A devoted book lover, Kieran can also be found on Instagram and YouTube, talking about the stories you need to read.

Once you've nailed that down, practice makes perfect. Study the craft by reading writers you admire, get some good books on writing, but you don't have to spend loads on courses, they probably won't help in the end. Set targets for yourself and make sure you put your work in front of people. Feedback is the most helpful thing a writer can have.(less)

And then get back on the horse. Writer's block is like a pipe. The only way to unblock it its to clear the blockage and flush it through. Write, just not on the project that's getting you down. A blog post, a diary entry, an email. Get those juices flowing again!(less)

Write With Me #5 – The Murder on the Train

A scream echoes across the platform. At first we thing it’s the conductor’s whistle. By the time we realise what it is, we’ve already left the station. The girl lies dead in the space between carriages. Her blood paints the grey carpet, her skin lily-white in contrast. No one tries to help her. It’s clear she’s dead.

The conductor orders us back to our seats. We’re all put off the train at the next
