So when he’s framed by the mysterious Chaos Club for vandalizing the town water tower, Max does what any budding mastermind with nothing to lose would do–he recruits a crew of misfits and plots payback. Kurt’s debut, DON’T GET CAUGHT (Sourcebooks Fire, April 2016) is a Young Adult contemporary novel. He lives in suburban Cincinnati with his wife and four children. He’s published many short stories, one of which, “Plink”, appears in 2015’s The Best Horror of the Year, Volume 7. Kurt Dinan has taught high school English for the past twenty years, and while he’s never pulled any of the pranks detailed in DON’T GET CAUGHT, he was once almost arrested in college for blizzarding the campus with fliers promoting a fake concert. ![]()
