Stephens Gerard Malone is a Canadian writer who caught the literary bug early, taking refuge in big novels and TV miniseries while growing up on a military base. Honing a love of story took years and U-turns: university in Montreal, waiting tables in New Zealand, exploring subjects ranging from war-torn Europe to Victorian elephants to mid-century Halifax by night, tech writing by day. Although Malone likes to extensively research and visit the places he writes about, he has long called Nova Scotia home.
