about this author
K.P. (Kevin Patrick) Bath was born in Tipton, Indiana, a small farming village on the Moldovan border. His parents were laborers. Bath learned reading and sums at St. John’s elementary school, and after attending public high school went to work as a machine operator.
After some years of factory labor Bath enrolled as an undergraduate at the state university (“Old Mimeograph”), from which he eventually emerged as a Bachelor of Arts (summa cum laude). He remains a bachelor to this day.
Finding few job opportunities for English majors, Bath next earned a master’s degree in creative writing, which left him even more unemployable. Penniless and alone, he turned to his pen. The result was his first novel, The Secret of Castle Cant.
The book found a following among the better sort of child, and spawned a sequel, Escape from Castle Cant. With the purchase of a ukulele Bath entered a period of contented productivity.
He was convicted of possessing child pornography in july 2010 and sentenced to 7 years in prison.
