Worldwide Critical Praise for Angel
* "This writing is what being brave is all about. It brings up the kinds of things that are usually kept so private that you think you're the only one who experiences them." "Angel: The Complete Quintet" International Edition Chosen Book of the Month by The Gay Times, London
* "Tantalizing tales of porn stars, hustlers, and other lost boys...John Patrick set the pace with 'Angel!'" - Jesse Monteagudo, The Weekly News, Miami
* "...Some readers may find some of the scenes too explicit; others will enjoy the sudden, graphic sensations each page brings. Each of these romans a clef is written with sustained intensity. 'Angel' offers a strange, often poetic vision of sexual obsession. I recommend it to you." - Noveau Midwest
* "Self-absorbed, sexually-addicted bombshell Stacy flounced onto the scene in 'Angel' and here he is again, engaged in further, distinctly 'non-literary' adventures...lots of action!" - Prinz Eisenherz Book Review, Germany
* "...'Billy & David' is frank, intelligent, disarming. Few books approach the government's failure to respond to crisis in such a realistic, powerful manner." - RG Magazine, Montreal, Canada
* "...Touching and gallant in its concern for the sexually addicted, 'Angel' becomes a wonderfully seductive investigation of the mysterious disparity between lust and passion, obsession and desire." -Lambda Book Report
* "Each page of John Patrick's 'Angel' was like a sponge and I was slowly sucked into the works. 'The Kid' had the same effect on me and now 'What Went Wrong?' has blown me away!" -P. K., New York
* "John Patrick has one of the best jobs a gay male writer could have. In his fiction, he tells tales of rampant sexuality. His non fiction involves first person explorations of adult male video stars. Talk about choice assignments!" -Southern Exposure
* "'Angel' is explicit, raw, obsessed!" - Book of the Month Selection, Haven Book Club
* "I loved 'Strip'! The characters are more complex than one finds in most erotic novels. I can't relate to bimbomania so I was pleased to find young Strip is not only gorgeous but smart, well spoken and talented. Even the boy Terry was credible and a nice foil for the older lovers. A sure best-seller!" -J. Howard, Atlanta
* Book of the Month Selections in Europe and the U.K. Featured Selections at A Different Light, Lambda Rising and GR, Australia

Hi, thank you for stopping by my profile.
Being middle-aged, single and British, the stereotype might be of someone boring, with most of life's adventures far behind him. I keep my life secret from the world; certainly I don't want anybody who knows me to find out anything to dispel the myth that I am anything other than the stereotype.
I love to write stories which include a submissive character. The interaction between strong personalities and weaker ones has fascinated me for years and although my outward appearance suggests strength, it's simply not true. Although men have used me in the past for their own gratification, my fantasy is to find just one who will be there always to make me do his bidding.
If anyone wants to share his experiences, I'm always happy to listen. I'd like to hear your thoughts about my book too, why don't you shoot me an email at john_patrick@awesomeauthors.org.
If you think your friends would like it, you could share it with them too!
