Patrick Derrickson has been a fan of speculative fiction from the age of nine when he first read The Stand, by Stephen King.  Since then, he has been the majestic hero of kingdoms, galaxies, and unspoken horrors.  A member of the Written Remains Writing Guild, he has finally found the outlet for the bizarre thoughts chasing each other inside his head.

His publishing credits include The Next King, published in the anthology Someone Wicked, and The Repo Girl, published in the anthology Insidious Assassins.

Patrick is a soccer referee, tracks technology obsessively, and follows too many podcasts.
