About Pat Patterson
Pat Patterson is a paramedic, an educator, a family man, and an adventurer. Like many novelists, he writes about what he knows, and if that includes a little blood and grit, it’s because he’s been there, on the street with dying people in his arms. At the end of the day he’s just a paramedic with a lot of stories to tell.
