About

I have been a journalist by night (I am a sportswriter) for two decades and a novelist by day (and late, late night) for a year. I have written three fiction novels: Nine Meals, The 17 and my latest foray into fiction, Solo.

Description

<span style="line-height:115%;font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">Peter and the Whimper-Whineys is about a small rabbit who whines all the time. His mother cautions him that if he keeps on whining and crying, he’ll have to go live with the Whimper-Whineys. One night Peter hops into the dark forest.<span>  </span>He meets some Whimper-Whineymen and discovers that not only do the Whimper-Whineys whine all the time, but they are very ill-mannered and rude. He discovers that everything is sour in Whimper-Whineyland and decides his mother was right! If only he can get back home… a recent critique, “Though there are other books out there for children about whining, I cannot imagine any parent or guardian not wanting to read this book to their child!... <span> </span>Parents everywhere applaud you!” </span></span>

Story Behind The Book

I always thought the end of the world would come not from a super bug or an asteroid with a funny name or Yellowstone blowing its top, but from people. People are the most dangerous thing in the universe and this book explores that. When people go nine meals without food, they become desperate and destroy.

<div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">From the get-go, &quot;Nine Meals&quot; by Mike Kilroy is entertaining and impossible to put down because of all the plot twists. - <i>Book Beast</i></div> <div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;"> </div> <div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">The sci-fi story's characters are well drawn and contain enough moral conflict in a post-apocalyptic world to bring the reader right into their heads. And I didn't want to leave until their plot lines were resolved and the world was adjusted to its new normal. - <i>Herald-Star online</i></div> <div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;"><i> </i> <div>Reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy's &quot;The Road,&quot; but with more depth and much more suspenseful, &quot;Nine Meals&quot; is going to delight both fans and non-fans of the genre. - <i>New York Book Pundit</i></div> </div>
