Autorenporträt
Patrick Andrews was born an Army Brat on January 14, 1936-his sister's arrival just two years later. His father was a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division during World War II. His mother was a good army officer's wife, who, like several of her lady cousins, wrote short-stories and poems. After the war, Patrick's father transferred into the Army Reserves, and they moved to Wichita, Kansas-where Patrick caught the scribbling bug. When Patrick got a job as a copy boy at the Wichita Eagle newspaper, he was ecstatic.A few years later, Patrick got a yen to be a paratrooper. He enlisted in the Army and took basic training in Camp Chaffee, Arkansas, soon after being transferred to the 82nd Airborne Division in Fort Bragg. His career with the 82nd was rewarding-being promoted to sergeant and tasked with training cadets in West Point before retiring. When Patrick read James Jones' From Here to Eternity, he appreciated the pride and struggling of soldiers. Soon after, he moved to San Diego, California and began writing and mailing manuscripts while working at a union typesetting company. He married and had one child, named William Patrick.One pivotal night, Patrick was with a couple of his writing buddies, drinking scotch whiskey and playing at writing the Sixgun Samurai series. The next day, they drove up to Pinnacle Books in Los Angeles, where they walked out with a book deal. Patrick and his friends went on to write the series' twelve novels-which were also printed in the U.K. by Star Books, the paperback division of W.H. Allen & Co. From then on, Patrick started writing and selling western, men's adventure, and military fiction. Years passed, and he had 24 published e-books with Piccadilly Publishing in the U.K.Today, all six of Patrick's Wichita Detective books are getting another chance to see the light of day-with Rough Edges Press-and find refuge on a cozy shelf in Ocean Hills, California where Patrick and his beloved wife, Julie, live.
