    Aaron M. Patterson

    Aaron M. Patterson writes fiction--some general and others science fiction--but always entertaining. He has a wide array of strongpoints in his writing. His poignant tales are dialogue-driven, character-developed, and plot-rounded. Patterson creates novels in the spirit of writers like Kurt Vonnegut, Ray Bradbury, and Robert Charles Wilson. While Patterson is as of yet unpublished, he revels in the plethora of self-publishing options recently opening to new authors. He plans on self-publishing many of his full works of fiction on Smashwords, Lulu, Kindle, and other forms of publishing in the very near future. Patterson lives in South Charleston, WV, originally from Ravenswood in the same state, and holds both a BA and MS in Geography from Marshall University.

      Also From Aaron Patterson

      This is the introduction only because we all require some sort of start to a book. I am a fiction writer so this whole non-fiction thing is a little new to me so if this sounds a little off or not what you non-fiction people are used to, well... we are just going to have to deal with it.

      This little eBook is here for you the author, publisher and yes you the reader. I am here to talk to you about the future, about what is coming and in some cases what is already here. The explosion of eBooks and the opportunity here for anyone who wants to write, author, publish and generally make any of these
