Bio
Paul M. Feeney was born in Scotland in 1975 and currently lives in the north east of England; he has been into reading and watching horror, dark fantastical stories, and other speculative genre works as far back as he can remember. With this deep love of story and the fantastic, it was perhaps inevitable that he would eventually turn his hand to writing his own tales; though it took him until 2012 to write his first short story.
Since then, though, he has penned a number of diverse works, some of which have found homes in the small press. His first published short (and only his second written), THE WEIGHT OF THE OCEAN, was released by Phrenic Press in 2015 as a Kindle only. This was followed by a number of various other short story acceptances, either now published or forthcoming.
His first novella, THE LAST BUS, was released through Crowded Quarantine Publications in mid 2015 (currently only available as a limited edition signed & numbered paperback from the publisher's website). His second novella, KIDS, will be published by Dark Minds Press in the middle of 2016. He is currently working on his first novel, a semi-sequel and expansion to THE LAST BUS. His stories range from character and plot driven pulpy horror-SF, with the occasional dash of fantasy, to more emotive, reflective pieces.
In the near future, he intends to separate these two distinctive strands of his output - the more genre driven works, and the contemporary/literary ambitions - with a pseudonym.
His over-riding concern and motivation is with the constant improvement and refinement of what writing ability he has, and with making each story the very best that he can write at that time.
