About

Kirk KD McDougall is an award winning author of Speculative Fiction who writes under the pen names: KD McDougall and Kirk McDougall.

I started writing Speculative Fiction in Nanaimo, British Columbia. I wrote in libraries and coffee shops with my wife and that’s the person who deserves the most thanks for her support. I joined the Thursday Writers Group which is where I wrote the first draft of Sally’s Shoes published in Island Writer Magazine.

I found a writing group that gave each other feedback so every two weeks I would drive two hours to Victoria and another two back home. That’s when I wrote Meteor Response published in Island Writer Magazine. 

My wife and I moved to Port Coquitlam in 2019. During the pandemic I wrote The Package published on the City website with support from the library and Western Sky Books. I also wrote five drabbles for the Circle of Magic anthology and My New Laptop for The Drabble website.
