KIN has been a long time coming for this author. It combines history with a terrific and tragic story of two brothers separated when they were young. One lives the life of a terrorist for the Irish Republican Army, the other works as an agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and has to hunt his brother down. The brothers also have a sister who is dying from cancer, and her letters to her brother keep him walking a tightrope between the love for his family and his job of pursuing them at the same time. KIN contains, at times, heart-wrenching drama along with plenty of action and excitement. The one thing it does most of all is try to tell a story that covers both sides of the troubles Ireland has been plagued with for centuries. There are no happy endings when it comes to an Irish story, only realism and honesty. This is what the book accomplishes.

This is the maiden voyage for Kevin McLaughlin. Although he has no previously published works, he has been writing all his life. Kevin was born at Fort Meade Army Hospital in Maryland but grew up in Omaha, Nebraska. He has bachelor's degrees in journalism and communications and in aviation studies, both of which contributed greatly to the novel. He is a lover of history and even took a trip to Ireland just to study the people and the culture so he could capture what life is like. The research he performed on the novel KIN was painstaking, but realism was the driving force behind it. Kevin currently resides in Omaha, Nebraska and is also working on a new book.
