Neil McMahon

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. His wife, Kim, coordinates the annual Montana Festival Of The Book. They live in Missoula, Montana, with the world's noisiest cat, Emma (named by their daughter after a Spice Girl).

He has always loved supernatural fiction, and his first three novels, written in the 1980s, were in that genre. Now in 2015, he's just released a new supernatural horror thriller: THE SHADOW KIND, evoking the haunted New England of H.P. Lovecraft.
