His interest in writing grew from a diary he kept while on assignment to manage a construction project in Cairo Egypt. One year turned into seven as he traveled and worked throughout the Middle and Near East, and later to South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe.
Patrick’s international career ended at a remote border crossing in Botswana, Africa in 1991. He returned to the Pacific Northwest where he lived until he retired from his construction business to devote his time to writing.
Patrick has written six books; three fiction, and three non-fiction. He spent two years working on Egyptian military installations, on the back streets of Cairo, in the remote villages along the Nile, and in the Sinai Desert. Project Egypt, a Politically Incorrect View reflects his first attempt at assimilating into a world that, at the time, was beyond his understanding.
A tour on the Island of Cyprus resulted in his first fiction novel. The Terrorist legacy was a product of the people he met and the places he visited. A terrorist attack on the Island of Cyprus, which was divided down the middle by Muslim and Christian philosophy drew Patrick into the world of Islam. Fear God and the Shadow of the Muslim Sword, and Islam's Mandate, a Tribute to Jihad analyze the relationship between the world of Islam and the People of the Book, Jews, Christians, and Pagans.
9-11 brought Islam's radical side to the forefront. Patrick revisited his tour in Pakistan and Afghanistan to write The Apostate Theory and his most recent work, Pakistan, America's Armageddon.
Patrick lives in a coastal community of Florida. He has four children, seven grandchildren, one great grandchild, and his constant companions, Brandy and Duchess, Yellow Labradors who share the space beneath his desk.view less
