J. Mulrooney is a Canadian writer who was baptized by Father Breen and took piano lessons with Mr Pengelly. His earliest writing job was to print “I will not be disrespectful in class” fifty times on a sheet of paper. Since then, his plots have improved considerably.

Mr. Mulrooney is a finalist for the 2017 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. If he has not died he is probably still living in upstate New York.
