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.

Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<p>&quot;Just picked this up. Read it. Loved it. If you're a fan of Anna Foster, Patrick Stutzman or both, Alone in The Crowd is a satisfying third instalment to what's been an entertaining series. It's been an interesting trip so far. Anna's journeys have taken her from Earth to a remote mining station at the edge of space, to marooning her on an alien moon. Let's face it. Anna's been through the wringer. But Patrick Stutzman isn't done with her yet - and that's a good thing, because it's always fun to see what trouble Anna's going to get into next, and how the hell she's going to get out of it.</p> <p>Seeing Anna having to deal with a fresh batch of rookie colonists (in this third book) provides a dramatic and fresh shift for one of the more original indy-series out there.&quot;</p>
