http://www.michaelpatrickharrington.com I was born in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and I now reside in Ambler, a one square mile town in the same state that has a bunch of churches, about six bars, and zero dog parks. I wrote my first short story in 2nd grade (it was really short), declared war on my sister in the 3rd grade, grew peach fuzz on my upper lip in 6th grade, kissed a girl in 10th grade, but never broke any bones (although my sister did give me a black eye utilizing a large hardback collection of Little Golden Books). My first professionally published work was a two part article on musician/poet Patti Smith (including an interview) that appeared in the now-defunct magazine, Rockpile. My first book, Deep Autumn, a collection of short stories and juvenilia, was released in 2003, followed by I See No Angels, which consists of three novellas, in 2004. The novel Saving Magdalene finally saw the light of day in 2013. (In the interim, I graduated magna cum laude from Arcadia University). 2013 was a busy year. I launched my own publishing imprint, Silk Raven Press, and Deep Autumn and I See No Angels were re-released in all new revised editions. (All of my books are available in both paperback and Kindle editions. Some are available in Nook editions.) Sweater Girl and Other Tales of Mondauk County, my fourth book, was released in 2014. Sweater Girl contains four novellas and four short stories, all set in the fictional, sometimes poisonous, Mondauk County, where all of my books are set. The Distant Sound of Boiling Tea, a screenplay without a movie, was released in 2015. In 2021 came two new books: Everything's Ephemeral: Stories from the Workshops Volume I and Get Out, You Ghosts: Stories From the Workshops Volume II. Both are collections of short work, including short stories, a novella, and a one-act play. All the work was written during the author’s time in five writing workshops at Arcadia University. My two newest books are The Innkeeper at the End of the World (a novel) and A Lab's Ears Made of SILK (a novella for middle-graders). Finally, work has begun on another novel, Is It Dark Where You Go? I have a Facebook page! I have a media mail order company that operates an Amazon store, an E-Bay store, an Etsy shop and a
