edit data

Ken Mooney was born in Dublin in the middle of the 1980s; he still lives there. He holds an MA in English Studies from TCD, which he totally uses every day during his day-job...totally.

He's always been obsessed with stories, reading, writing and playing them; that explains the massive collection of books, comics, video games and discarded Word documents. His writing is a combination of all the things that he's passionate about, all the way through high-and-low-brow.

(Note from Ken: I don't log into Goodreads often, so best way to get in touch is via my website or Twitter.) ...more

I’m Asking, Mr Harper, If You Had Sexual Intercourse With Count Dracula

I don’t do New Year’s resolutions, but over the last few hours, have had a few thoughts about writing and committing to some stuff. I don’t like the idea of commitments when it comes to writing, especially since I find it takes some of the energy and the creativity out of the artistic experience. Blahblahblah, I don’tknow how truly I [...]

Quotes by Ken Mooney (?)

“There’s just something more regular and everyday about cancer than there is about brain surgery. Brain tumours are exotic and interesting. Cancer is scary and horrible. Maybe”

“It’s also sweaty as balls in Dublin at the moment, so any attempt to stick tape to me and keep this in place was doomed from the beginning. So with the drain going in on a Tuesday, it was coming out of its own accord by the Saturday. By that stage, I was draining slowly and feeling fine. It would have been better to have it in and live with it for a week or so and three days isn’t really enough. The plan was to try and get it back in, ideally by CT. But this kind of procedure wasn’t a huge priority for a weekend.”
