James K Moran

An Ottawa journalist, author and writer, I have contributed to what is now known as Daily Xtra since 1999. My first byline (or perhaps, more aptly, bi-line) was a story about a gay volleyball league in Cornwall. Since then, I have had the privilege of penning articles about everything from high school bullying to Mr. Leather competitions to public sex to Ottawa Pride to author interviews and book reviews. My first horror novel, "Town & Train", was published by Lethe Press in November 2014 and is available on amazon.ca and at independent bookstores. As well, my fiction and poetry have appeared in Canadian and U.S. publications, with recent fiction in Icarus: The Magazine of Gay Speculative Fiction and poetry in Empty Mirror Literary & Arts Magazine. My other articles and reviews have appeared in various Canadian media, including CBC Radio, Rue Morgue: Horror in Culture & Entertainment and the Ottawa Citizen.I also blog at jameskmoran.blogspot.ca/
