Ramona Dabbs is my alpha reader and has been ever since I started writing well over a decade ago. She’s read everything, good and bad, polished and raw, and she’s never failed in her encouragement. What a gift.
Finally, dear reader, if you’ve made it this far, I want to thank you. You have no idea how your letters, emails, and kind reviews have encouraged me to strive to improve as a writer. The goal is and always will be to write a story that you come to regard as your best friend. I hope someday to succeed.
About the Author
Patrick W. Carr was born on an Air Force base in West Germany at the height of Cold War tensions. He has been told this was not his fault. As an Air Force brat, he experienced a change in locale every three years until his father retired to Tennessee. Patrick saw more of the world on his own through a varied and somewhat eclectic education and work history. He graduated from Georgia Tech in 1984 and has worked as a draftsman at a nuclear plant, did design work for the Air Force, worked for a printing company, and consulted as an engineer. Patrick’s day gig for the last nine years has been teaching high school math in Nashville, TN. He currently makes his home in Nashville with his wonderfully patient wife, Mary, and four sons he thinks are amazing: Patrick, Connor, Daniel, and Ethan. Sometime in the future he would like to be a jazz pianist, and he wrestles with the complexity of improvisation on a daily basis.
