Barry Kirwan
Barry gained his psychology doctorate in the study of human error, and had four academic books published (Elsevier; Taylor & Francis) before turning his hand to fiction, where he writes in two genres. In science fiction his four-book Eden Paradox series has sold over thirty thousand copies, and was followed by a thriller series set in London, Moscow and Hong Kong (HarperCollins). His recent crime novel The Dead Tell Lies (Bloodhound Books) concerns serial killers, and draws heavily from his psychology training, with the sequel due in Autumn 2021. His new science fiction series debuts in January 2021. Although a novel writer, he loves the short story format, which is how he got hooked on writing. For him, even when writing a novel, “every chapter is a short story.”
