Patrick is an author whose writing career draws from his diverse background in military service, political science, and chemistry. His debut novel, "Execution of Justice," was inspired by a conversation with a schizophrenic veteran during his time at Fort Benning, where he specialized in Advanced Infantry Training. He later expanded his literary repertoire with the techno-thriller series "Mortal Coil," which explores themes of human hubris and the dangers of genetic engineering. The first installment of the series was released in 2018.
Before becoming a novelist, Patrick honed his craft by publishing short fiction in Presbyterian College's literary magazine, "Figs and Thistles," while majoring in Political Science. His academic pursuits extended to chemistry, earning him a master's degree and membership in Mensa. This multidisciplinary expertise informs his writing, blending military precision, political intrigue, and scientific depth. He resides in South Carolina with his wife and son.
