Let's Talk Fiction (+ Songwriting) With P.S. Patton, Author of The Withering

P.S. Patton is a speculative fiction author and songwriter based on the Central Coast of California. He is a thirty-something husband and father who spent his early years reading superhero comics, writing and illustrating comics of his own, learning the secrets of the ooze, the balance of the force, the deeper magic from before the dawn of time, awakening the wind fish, shooting marbles and slamming pogs, collecting and trading Pokémon cards, rescuing Hyrule, becoming the Hero of Time, searching the scriptures, studying eschatology, and feeling just as—if not more—fascinated with the worlds of Shakespeare, Dickens, Melville, and Steinbeck; as with those of Rowling, King, Lewis, and Tolkien.
