K. Patrick Malone, a native of the New Jersey shore, graduated Monmouth University with a B.A. in Psychology before attaining a J.D. from Capital University Law School. After years of practicing law and apartment life in New York City, he returned to a small farm cottage near the Jersey shore to tend his English style garden and write his first book, Inside A Haunted Mind. An accomplished writer, Malone specializes in blood curdling tales of the occult, with finely detailed characters that tug at your heart or grab you by the throat and make your skin crawl. With his debut novel published in early 2007 by A Better Be Write Publishers, LLC, Inside A Haunted Mind has already garnered an Honorable Mention from the Hollywood Book Festival and has developed what can be most accurately described as an almost cult like following among mainstream readers and horror aficionados alike and his second effort, The Digger's Rest, will no doubt cement his place as one of today's leading writers of literary horror. His books are so unique in style and content with ironic twists to the endings that they keep readers hanging by the edge of their seats until the very last word.
