Kevin Lynch

I'm a Guidance Counsellor but have always written. I was shortlisted for the Hennessy new Irish Writers award and have won a number of poetry awards. I decided to write a novel about two years ago, set my main character up as a misanthropic, reclusive type, then sent him into the world to solve the mystery of his brother's disappearance. I've enjoyed living with the characters in the book but am glad the editing and proofing is over as that's a harder slog than the initial creation. I am now on my second novel which is a ground level thriller with a hearty dollop of dark humor.

Robert W. Kirby

I was born in 1979 and live in Kent with my wife and children. I ran a private investigation agency for over fifteen years, dealing in cases that involved breach of contract claims, commercial debt recovery, and process serving. My agency also specialised in people tracing, so much of my work revolved around tracking down debtors, dealing in adoption matters and locating missing persons. At times, I worked on some pretty bizarre cases and dealt with plenty of interesting and sometimes colourful individuals.

I’ve had a huge passion for screenwriting for many years and started writing novels in 2021. My first novel, The Tests, was based on a spec screenplay that I originally wrote back in 2009. The Tests was then republished with Inkubator B
