    Kieran J. Evans

    Kieran J. Evans is a fledgling adult en route to either make a name for himself, or crash and burn; either way he’ll likely have a bit too much fun doing so in the process. When not hunched over his desk writing, he makes various artistic crowns of flowers, shells, and trash; or is being beaten up by other nerds with foam weapons. Alternatively, sleeping, because it’s good for what ails you. For further inquiries, you can track him down via social media.

      Foreword

      Greetings,

      I grew up in a small town on the east coast of Queensland in the 90’s. I can recall a lot of plaid and beach outings. I learnt Speech & Drama from my mother, maternal aunt, and maternal grandmother. I grew up with an appreciation of literature; classic, or otherwise. I am currently studying creative arts and education. I partake in writing whenever my muse seizes me by the heart and drags me into the wild blue yonder. I hope you enjoy the recounting of my experiences and thought processes during my short years on this planet so far.

      Enjoy this slice of my life,

      Kieran J. Evans
