PATRICK REGAN
grew up in the midst of a midsized city in the middle of America. The youngest of eight children, he still bears the psychological scars of being the last one down the stairs every Christmas morning. He is the author of numerous books. With this one, he earns a permanent appointment to Santa's naughty list.
