Kyle Kirrin lives on a ranch 9,000 feet above sea level in Creede, Co, where he tends to the needs of a motley crew of overly skittish animals. His fiction has appeared or is forthcoming in Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Daily Science Fiction, Metaphorosis, Syntax and Salt, and elsewhere. He’s also a former slush reader with an Apex Magazine-sized hole in his heart.
