Friday 27th May
Author Kirkland Ciccone – Book talk and Q&A
Fallin Library 17:30 – 18:30pm
Kirkland Ciccone – author of Happiness is Wasted on Me – will be hosting a reading and discussion for his book and invites you to come along. Taking place in the 90s, Happiness Is Wasted On Me is a genre-blending tale that spans a decade in the life of Walter. It’s a coming-of-age tale, a family drama, a mystery, and a biting dark comedy. Ultimately, it’s the story of how even the strangest people can find their way in the world.
Kirkland Ciccone is a punk, an author, and a performer. He trained in journalism and PR but quickly discovered live storytelling and writing stories made him happier than interviewing people at Car Boot Sales. Kirkland set up Yay YA, a book festival to encourage teens to get off their phones and read books. He has previously written quirky fiction for younger readers including Conjuring the Infinite and Glowglass.
