Thank you

Start with Chapter 1Thank YouI just wanted to take the time to say thank you for reading The Clearing. I hope you enjoyed it. If you're interested in more works by me, you can read the Drexel Pierce series, the first title, The Shattered Bull, is available for $.99 on Amazon.

Again, thank you!

Patrick’s Recent Updates

Patrick liked Bob's review of Annihilation (Southern Reach #1): "I enjoyed this. Reminiscent of Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness - exploration of a weird place, weird experiences the human mind isn't ready for, questions left unanswered. "
