Pat lives in St Helens, Merseyside, with his wife, Maureen. Formerly, he has been involved in teaching and training, executive recruitment and copy writing.

He is an enthusiastic cook, helps Maureen out in the garden and is mad about his football team (not Everton or Liverpool!).

Pat is proud of his ability to solve word puzzles like Wordle and Diffle, until he sees how his son effortlessly beats his score in a fraction of the time!

As of early 2025, Pat is working on his latest project (No.39) and hopes he can complete it by the summer, so he get get cracking on a new idea he has for a horror genre novel.
