Kirkpatrick, Ian: - Ian Kirkpatrick is satirical and speculative author with Masters' Degrees in Creative Writing and Forensic Psychology and a Bachelor's Degree in Theater. She's particularly obsessed with human nature, rationale, morality, good and evil, absurdity, and the supernatural bend you can find between mythology and reality, so her fiction will often contain these elements. She particularly enjoys using exaggeration, contrast, and incongruity to paint the worlds she creates. She has written novels, short stories, stage plays, and screenplays.
