R.L. Malone (1978 - ) was born in St. Marys, PA. He is a college graduate from Clarion University of Pennsylvania where he majored in Real Estate and received his Bachelors of Science in Business Administration. He is a divorced father of two little girls whom he spends every chance with that he can get. He enjoys reading, movies, music and of course writing. He is still amazed that he fancies a career in writing when many years ago he dropped out of Webelos because he was expected to write a two hundred word essay on The Star Spangled Banner, thus preventing him from ever learning how to tie a proper knot.
