Who Am I?

My name is Kieran, and I'm a reviewer and novel writer from Galway, Ireland. I'm a huge Sci-Fi and Fantasy fan, whether its comic books, movies, or novels. I love connecting with these stories through reviews and articles. I'm also working on my own fantasy novel, so hopefully you'll see some updates on that in the future!
