Kirk Hastings was born in Baltimore, Maryland on July 4, 1952. A writer, artist, and graphic designer, Kirk published his first full-length novel in June of 2004, "The Fury of Achilles", an historical adventure tale that continued the saga of the ancient Greek hero begun in Homer's Iliad. Kirk designed and drew the cover for the book. In 2007 he published his second book, "Doo Wop Motels: Architectural Treasures of The Wildwoods", about the classic 1950s and 1960s motel buildings he grew up with in Wildwood Crest, NJ. The book featured many of Kirk's own photographs. In 2009 he published his third book, "What Is Truth? A Handbook For Separating Fact From Fiction In A Propaganda-Filled World", based on extensive research concerning the major religions of the world. It focused primarily on the historical and scientific evidences supporting the Old and New Testaments. In 2010 he published his second novel, "The Infinity Man", a philosophical science fiction adventure tale based on a character he conceived of while still a teenager. (This book was re-published in 2018 as "ROBOT", and Kirk again designed the cover for the new edition.) That same year Kirk published his fifth book, "We Are Being Lied To", about how the modern mass media distorts its coverage of the news due to the political and moral biases of its editors and reporters, especially concerning the topics of the Bible, God, and Christianity. Today Kirk lives in Somers Point, New Jersey with his wife Sally (a retired 4th grade elementary school teacher). See less
