Carbone Usman Tanveer Malik Contributor Bio:  Kahle, Pete Pete Kahle has been dreaming about writing novels since his teens, but after flirting with the idea in college, he spent 25 years working in a variety of careers before he finally stopped talking about it and started writing. He has lived in New York, Arizona and Spain, but now he resides in Massachusetts with his beautiful wife Noemi, his two amazing children Zoe and Eli, one dog, two hamsters, two guinea pigs and two frogs. Pete is a voracious reader of horror, thrillers and science fiction novels and he writes in the same vein. He is also an insane fan of the New York Jets, despite living deep in the heart of enemy territory near Gillette Stadium. The Specimen is his first novel, but it certainly will not be his last. There are many other twisted tales percolating inside his head, among which is a sequel to The Specimen, and now that the dark closet in his subconscious has been opened, the monsters are clamoring to come out for a visit.
