John D. Patten


Website

Genre
Mystery, Thriller


John D. Patten occasionally skipped class because he was glued to a Spenser mystery by Robert B. Parker. He would be late for jobs because he got caught up in a Travis McGee adventure by John D. MacDonald. He memorized sarcastic Philip Marlowe lines from detective stories by Raymond Chandler. Now, after all these years, he’s finally figured out maybe he should be writing hard-boiled thrillers of his own.

“If I don’t have me, then what’s it all worth anyway? If I’m living, then I’m living for who I am, what I stand for, what I believe. Not to get paid to deny my very existence. If I gave in, I wouldn’t be an authentic man. I’d be a dead man.”
