Kevin Glavin's ancestors hail from the Emerald Isle; his surname can be traced back to the Gaelic Gláimhin, meaning "satirist." When Kevin found out the nature of his origins, he decided to make his ancestors proud by taking up the family craft. But it was a dark and stormy road. After receiving his BA in English and MAT in English Education from the University of Iowa, he sashayed like his forefathers--westward. Kevin has taught for some sixteen years, mostly in Claremont, California. In December 2009, Kevin formed his own publishing company to learn the entire art of bringing a work to market, in print and digitally, and to maintain creative freedom. After much work, his satire, Rock Star's Rainbow, was finally published, which was named to Kirkus Reviews' Best of 2011 list. In 2012, he wrote All The Things You'll Do, his first children's book, collaborating with illustrator Sarah Grepo, a Claremont High alumna. Many other fun and exciting projects are currently in the works.
