An avid crime fiction reader, Patrick was inspired by writers such as Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Current authors such as Michael Connelly, Lee Child, Jonathan Kellerman, Robert Crais and Stephen King have been equally inspirational. A gentle prod from friends and family convinced him to pursue writing his first novel, Varied Traits. Heavy Hour is set to release in September 2015. Brown is currently writing the third novel in the series, Spare Change.

Patrick Brown is a long time Georgia resident. He currently lives in Northeast Atlanta with his wife and two children.
