First off, let me tell you that I've been a fan of Curran's since April 2013 when I first read The Sity. He'd offered me a copy of his debut novel in return for a review, one of the earliest authors to do so after I started book blogging. Since then, I've enjoyed his blog posts and have been pleased to received updates from Curran about his series from time to time.
If you're looking for an author to follow, Curran's a good bet. So, read on for what Curran has to say about himself and then keep going for a gripping excerpt from Only the Cold Remains.
Author Bio
Curran Geist grew up in the quaint town of Schwenksville, PA. He often lived within books, and his vibrant imagination allowed him to escape to fictional worlds beyond the tiny town where he was raised. He was home educated up until college, and he’s proud of it. Curran is also a mixed bag of many different ethnicities. No one has ever been able to correctly guess his origins! Though, everyone does still mistake him for Jimmy Fallon.Curran’s passion has always been to write. He’s powered by strong coffee and loud music. His zest for writing is only matched by his love of animals. His proudest moment was when he rescued a baby Robin and raised the bird until it could fly. Currently, he just has a cat, but he can’t wait to keep building his animal family!
For many years, Curran Geist was dedicated towards human rights work. He was honored to serve in the AmeriCorps and also to work for the Simon Wiesenthal’s Tolerance Center, where he lead trainings to combat bigotry and discrimination. Human rights issues are still very important to Curran. In writing THE SITY series, Curran Geist has merged his love of science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres with his belief in tackling social injustices. His novels paint a dystopian, post-apocalyptic, and extraterrestrial landscape that mirrors many modern day social issues, including: the exploitation of children, sexual slavery, and cruelty towards animals.
In THE SITY series, the lead characters embark on a harrowing journey of vengeance. They must protect the survival of humanity – at all costs. However, what if that cost is the last slivers of their own humanity?
Curran is currently living in New Jersey with his wife. They are eagerly expecting the arrival of their first child.
