About
"I liked science fiction before it was cool."
The above statement is true with Patrick. He has always loved science fiction, being heavily influenced by Star Trek and Star Wars as a child. He read classic science fiction by authors such as Douglas Adams and Frank Herbert while in high school.
His career as a writer truly began when he became involved in roleplaying games while in college, where he created his own world and wrote his own adventures for his gaming group. Step by step, he finally achieved his dream job of working as a game designer for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game, Saga Edition produced by Wizards of the Coast.
When the game line was retired in 2009, he set forth on the next step of his writing career as an author by writing his first novel, Alone on the Edge.
Fatal Rivalry: Part Three of The Last Great Saxon Earls
Description
<p>In 1066, the rivalry between two brothers brought England to its knees. When Duke William of Normandy landed at Pevensey on September 28, 1066, no one was there to resist him. King Harold Godwineson was in the north, fighting his brother Tostig and a fierce Viking invasion. How could this have happened? Why would Tostig turn traitor to wreak revenge on his brother?<br />The Sons of Godwine were not always enemies. It took a massive Northumbrian uprising to tear them apart, making Tostig an exile and Harold his sworn enemy. And when 1066 came to an end, all the Godwinesons were dead except one: Wulfnoth, hostage in Normandy. For two generations, Godwine and his sons were a mighty force, but their power faded away as the Anglo-Saxon era came to a close.</p>

Reviews
<span class="readable"><span>"As a first time novelist, Stutzman really makes this ordeal
believable. The dialogue between woman and machine is fun and most times
hilarious, sometimes it is even touching. This was a great read and one
I couldn't put down. This is first in an upcoming series. Get the book.
Read it." --Mae Jones<br /></span></span>
