Patrick W. O'Bryon is a native Californian who planned to spend his adult life in academia. But having earned a doctorate in Germanic Studies at Princeton University, studied in Germany as a Fulbright Scholar,spent two years as a command military interpreter in Germany,and taught at the university level, Patrick sought new worlds to inspire him.

Now, having explored fields as diverse as investment property brokerage, advertising, and founding natural health clinics in the Pacific Northwest, Patrick brokers real estate while devoting his free hours to writing novels and blogging, traveling in Europe, and looking after abandoned animals.

This guy is never going to settle down.

Thankfully, his wife Dani is very understanding.
