Since he wrote his first book at the age of 8 about "The Venusians" for a school project, Mike Kilroy has been hooked on writing. An award-winning journalist for more than two decades, Kilroy has now authored three novels: The best-selling, post-apocalyptic tome, Nine Meals; the swashbuckling young adult science fiction tale, The 17; and Solo, a book about the monsters that live inside all of us.
