Ian Kirkpatrick is an award-winning author of oddities: speculative fiction, satire, and magical realism.

Her credentials are these: an MFA in Creative Writing, a BA in Theater, and an intense interest in psychology and incongruity. 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. While she writes across genres, these elements will often still be found in her works along with innocent characters, psychopathic characters, or a combination of the two.

She has written novels, short

Quotes by Ian Kirkpatrick  (?)

“Virginians don’t belong in Maryland for the same reason Marylanders don’t belong in Virginia. When we meet, it should be in DC where everyone is the same kind of nasty: feds.”
Ian Kirkpatrick, Bleed More, Bodymore

“Cynicism is just a way of evading the truth a little longer.”
Ian Kirkpatrick, Plead More, Bodymore

“The stains of so many years of misery make the chair look like it’s a bleeding, rotting corpse all its own. The spot that stands out the most is where his head was when he ate lead the first time. I take another hit from the cigarette, wiping at my eyes. A laugh bubbles out. I thought stains were supposed to fade with age, just like the bad stuff that happens to you, but they don’t. Fifteen years isn’t enough to make blood blend into brown carpets with every other mess?

Bullshit.”
Ian Kirkpatrick, Plead More, Bodymore

“Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.”
Oscar Wilde

“It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished.

But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, 'whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection,' and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever.”
John Adams, The Portable John Adams

“You know, it’s all right to be wrong, but it’s not all right not to try.”
Sanford Meisner, Sanford Meisner on Acting

“Reality poisons the spring of fantasy, whereas fantasy, when it erupts into the real world, brings destruction in its wake.”
Brian Masters, The Shrine of Jeffrey Dahmer

“Anonymous sex, he wrote, ‘only deepens one’s sense of loneliness and solves nothing.”
Brian Masters, Killing for Company: Case of Dennis Nilsen
