Neil McMahon has published a dozen thrillers, including (co-authored with James Patterson) the #1 NY Times bestseller, TOYS. He holds a degree in psychology from Stanford, and is a journeyman carpenter, with many years spent working construction. He and his wife, Kim, live in Missoula, Montana, where she coordinates the annual Montana Festival Of The Book.He stepped out of the serious thriller box to write, together with Kim, the fun and funny young adult novel, ADAM OF ALBION, and recently published a lighthearted novella, FIFTY SHADES OF GREAT AUNT ELINOR (this one's more for the grownups). And horror fans, please take note: his first three novels, written in the 1980s, are genuinely scary supernatural horror. We invite you to check them out at our website: EvilAwakens.com.
