About Brian John Feehan

Some of the basics in no particular order:  I’ve never tasted coffee (and do not intend to).  My mother was in the Miss America pageant.  I got elevation sickness while trekking the Himalayas, which I would not recommend (the sickness, not the trekking, which was tremendous).  I’m from the Chicago area, but because of my original chosen profession (Theater), I moved to New York a long time ago.  I’ve jumped from a plane (on purpose, not by accident) and now live in a 250-year-old house with my husband, two ghosts and a mortgage.

I attended the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and the Sackett Street Writing Workshop.  I’m shopping around my debut novel “MUMFORD” while putting the finishing touches on my second, “THE LAKE,” and my third, “EVOLUTION.”  I was a finalist for the Beverly Hills Film Festival (screenplay) as well as the Heideman Award at the Actor’s Theatre of Louisville. I have five plays, all published and rights managed by Heuer Publishing, and I was, for many years, a professional director and choreographer.
