Conor Patrick was born in the south-western United States in 1983. He grew up in the largest Ponderosa Pine forest in the world, on the arid plateaus of the Arizona Mountains. From there, he moved progressively northward, eventually earning his undergraduate degree from the University of Idaho, where he studied English and Secondary Education.
He worked as a teacher for a short while and then, suddenly, uprooted and crossed the Atlantic to stalk around the United Kingdom, where he gained an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Portsmouth in 2011. Someday, he would like to own a telescope. His writing has appeared in various publications throughout the US and UK.
