Kenneth C. Flint (June 23, 1947 – August 18, 2024)[1] was an American fantasy novelist. He also wrote under the pseudonym Casey Flynn. A resident of Omaha, Nebraska, Flint taught literature and writing at the University of Nebraska at Omaha for six years before becoming English department head for Plattsmouth High School. In 1986 he quit teaching to become a full-time novelist. A majority of his works are either based on Irish myths and legends, or else are original stories involving concepts, and sometimes characters, from Irish mythology. His earliest and best known works center around three of the most important characters of Irish legend: Lugh, Cúchulainn, and Finn MacCumhal. In the 1990s he wrote a pair of Star Wars short stories, and in 2004 a historical fiction novel, On Earth's Remotest Bounds: Year One: Blood and Water, the first of a planned series.
