edit data

Patrick Rutigliano made his way as a fry cook, cart monkey and feral cat tamer before going into business for himself. Working as an editor and proofreader in addition to writing, his first independent release, "The Untimely Deaths of Daryl Handy," hit Amazon in 2013. His newest book, "Wind Chill," was released by Crystal Lake Publishing in 2016.

During his off time, Patrick can usually be found attempting to recreate foreign cuisine, performing the solemn duty of feline waterbed and having spirited debates with his wife over the failings of Disney villains.

Some (Rather Late) News

Oof. It’s been kind of a long while since I updated here, but I do have a few things to share. Firstly, I had a short story published in the Arkham Institutions anthology via Dragon’s Roost Press. Believe it or not, it’s my first ever pro-rate fiction sale, so that was a welcome milestone. You can find it over on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Arkham-Institutions-Where-Mythos-Mundane-ebook/dp
