Evan Maloney (author)

Evan Maloney (born November 14 1969) is an Australian-born author living in Poland with his wife and daughter. He studied literature and philosophy at Deakin University and currently writes for news.com.au, a popular Australian news site 1. His blog (Splat)2 is one of the longest running blogs on news.com.au.

Maloney's first novel, Tofu Landing (Quartet Books), will be released in January 2010 in the UK3. Amazon.com has the following information AbOUT the book.

"Declan Swift moves into The Posse's East London flat at the same time as Tristan Russell, an indie-rock star whose love for hard drugs is matched only by his taste for young groupies. By comparison, Declan's life is lacking direction: he reviews films on a little-watched cable-television show and writes occasionally about art. He believes that he is falling in love with Juliet, a wealthy project manager at a large pharmaceutical company who prefers to date men half her age."

Maloney also works in script development with several European film production companies in Portugal, Russia and England. Since early 2009 his screenplay for António Variações has been the subject of a legal dispute between Utopia Filmes and director João Maia 4.

He taught English literature and philosophy at Szczecin international school in Poland before becoming a full-time writer.
