Author Biography

It is believed that Thaddeus Lovecraft was born in Ireland sometime between January 1965 and October 1972. Although some researchers cling fast to the claim that he was home-schooled, there is growing support for the theory that he received no formal education whatsoever. Notwithstanding this limitation, he entered Trinity College Dublin in September 1990. Later that day he was asked to leave as they were closing up for the night. The rest of Lovecraft's life is shrouded in mystery. His parents were killed in a freak hairdressing accident, allowing him to use his vast inheritance to protect himself from the outside world forever. Several mail-order brides were bought with his credit card in March 1997 but all were returned in their original packaging before the 28-day period had elapsed.
