About

Multi-genre author Kirk Burris is an Amazon Best-selling author. His Book, 12 PILLS, often ranks in the top 100 Mystery books.

Having grown up in Missouri, where he earned a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Missouri, Kirk now makes his home in South Florida and swears he doesn't miss shoveling snow and ice to free his car. A fan of Kansas City, it has become the primary backdrop to his books thus far, though they also explore Miami, Washington D.C. and his romantic favorite, Paris, France. 

A travel bug, Kirk is often abroad. He can be found snorkeling the waters of the Caribbean, walking the streets of Paris, or taking in a Broadway show in New York. At home, Kirk is a food and cooking enthusiast. He also enjoys zipping along the exhilarating tracks of major roller coasters while he plots his next adventure.
