Bio: Pat has loved fantasy all his life, and has been a Dungeonmaster since he was 15. The first book he finished writing was accidentally burned when Pat was at a COM held in a park, and a homeless man used the manuscript as tinder to start a fire. All his mss. since then have been backed up! An Army veteran, he is now a security guard in Alabama, where he lives with his wife, her elderly grandfather, and her sick uncle. His mother and two of his sisters also are writers. (For security reasons, I'm not providing his own address, and will take care of his SS filings myself.)
