Autor

There's been a debate among certain obscure and drunken literary scholars about whether PATRICK THOMAS was raised by Cthulhu or a leprechaun in a Manhattan bar. What there is no arguing about is that Patrick is the award-winning author of 50+ books including the beloved fantasy humor Murphy's Lore series, the darkly hilarious Dear Cthulhu advice empire, as well as the Bikini Jones adventure books. Patrick pens the Hexcraft and Terrorbelle urban fantasy series, co-writes the Mystic Investigators paranormal mystery series, and is the creator of the Agents of the Abyss. Dear Cthulhu has expanded from magazines and books to broadcast monthly on the radio show Destinies: The Voice of Science Fiction. Over 100 of his stories have been published in magazines and anthologies. A number of his books were part of the props department of the CSI television show and Nightcaps was even thrown at a suspect's head. His urban fantasy Fairy With A Gun at one point had been optioned for film and TV by Laurence Fishburne's Cinema Gypsy Productions. Top Men Productions turned his Soul For Hire Story, Act of Contrition, into a short film. DPH Games is releasing a card game based on his 142nd Starborne military SF stories. As Patrick T. Fibbs, he writes middle readers including the Babe B. Bear Mysteries, The Undead Kid Diaries, Joy Reaper Checks Out, the YA Emotional Support Nightmare, and the Fushia The Mermaid and the Ughabooz picture books for younger kids.
