Kevin Moran is a children’s author and primary-school teacher. From Castlebar, Co. Mayo, he lives and works in Dublin. He wrote his first book, ‘Ghost Invaders’, when he was six. It remains buried in an attic, unpublished. 2025 saw the publication of Kevin’s debut children’s novel – a funny, thrilling, spooky and action-packed adventure, set in Dublin as a group of four young friends deal with the challenges of 6th class, friendship, and some frightening otherworldly shenanigans from the darkest realms of Celtic folklore, including a 7ft monster who only speaks Irish. When not writing, Kevin can often be found on the beach near his home in Dublin, being walked by his golden retriever.
