The Mole Man Diary (Paperback)

Randall Thompson was raised in a turbulent parental environment, which led him to drinking and drugs as a teenager. He left home after his mother died, leaving his pathetic father behind, and made his home on the streets. This led to an acceleration of drug use, which eventually caused severe depression and an attempted suicide in the tunnels under New York City. To his great surprise, he woke up the next morning, cursed the drugs for failing, and then began to explore his new surroundings, having nothing better to do. Over time, the tunnels below the city became his home. He met and inducted other addicts into the tunnels, became their leader, and spent the next several years in various adventures, experiencing love, success, and failure. The people on top, as he would label it, called him The Mole Man. This is his story.

Malcolm was born in 1949 in a small coal-mining village in Yorkshire, England called Thurcroft. He went to work for the British Government after high school, where he worked on old mainframe computers starting at the age of eighteen. This career brought him to the United States in 1982, where he became a businessman in the computer industry, selling his own software product. Over the years he wrote short stories and poetry, then wrote his first novel, A Trail of Blood, in 2017. This was followed by six other novels, the last three of which he has written in 2023 and 2024. He also has had three poetry books published. In his senior years, Malcolm is still working in the computer industry, but his love is writing, and he has plans for many future novels.
