Sebastian Malloy
Author bio:
Currently I am too busy outfitting my Soviet-made bathysphere, inside of which I shall be locked away beneath the cold waters of the San Francisco Bay while working in isolation on this year's NaNoWriMo project, to be able to write a cohesive and enlightening author's bio. In lieu of that, I give you this brief but revealing peek into the mind of Sebastian Malloy.
Enjoy.
