About Me
My given Name is Patrick
I am an author of both fiction and non-fiction. There are five books out there with my name on them. I am also an active blogger, sharing my interests and musings on a wide range of topics–some whimsical and some melancholy–it’s my Dark Irish Nature.
I am also a photographer and one who suffers from a bad case of Wanderlust. This site is where I will share my thoughts and travels.
