A comic novelist who writes about family life, growing up and Catholic schools, Kevin Killeen has won awards for humor in his first two books, Never Hug a Nun and Try to Kiss a Girl. By day Killeen has worked since 1995 as a reporter for CBS Radio in St. Louis, covering crime, politics and human interest features. He has also written and directed some twenty humorous, full-length radio plays for the KMOX Holiday Radio Show. In his third novel, Snow Globes and Hand Grenades, Killeen for the first time put the boys in the background and tells a story whose main character is a girl, and in this latest novel, Most Improved Sophomore, he tells the tale from multiple points of view.
"How often does a radio guy make you think of Mark Twain? Kevin
remembers what it was like to be a kid." --Bill McClellan, St.
Louis Post-Dispatch
"Kevin Killeen's utterly winning novel gives us the human comedy in
full measure. Blessed with a genuine comic gift, Killeen manages to
write with both hilarity and humanity. The book is a buoyant
delight from beginning to end." --David Carkeet, author, The Full
Catastrophe
