About Patrick
Novelist, Playwright, Musician
Classically trained as a musician, Patrick began writing while still in elementary school. Everyone around him thought he was a quiet kid, but he was honing his observational skills and taking notes.
Having lived in various parts of the U.S. while working in several unrelated fields, including the arts, civil rights, church music, and politics, Patrick has developed keen insight into human nature, and frequently transforms personalities and situations into captivating stories and not-so-subtle social commentary. With a scathing wit and a sense of humor that shines through in his plots, his readers enjoy vivid settings, memorable characters, and stories that remain with them long after they finish his books.
