About the Author
Pat Mulligan started his career as a stand-up comic, which soon lead to an acting career. "My fifteen minutes of fame took twenty years to run its course in Hollywood." He was featured in sitcoms, commercials and films. Writing seemed to be the next progression. "If I want to act in a good movie, I'll write one." Another book by this author, THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A HOLLYWOOD BAD BOY is also published by AuthorHouse. It chronicles Pat's life and the wild side of the Hollywood scene. During that period, he wrote five screenplays, three of which are complied in this book: APOCALYPSE LATER, DEJA VU DEJA VU and HOOSIER DADDY.
DEJA VU DEJA VU came in tenth place in a national script writing contest, AMERICA'S BEST.
