D. Byron Patterson

D. B. Patterson writes fiction for adults, teens and kids. His short works have been published in Elephants & Other Gods, Ramble Underground, Shalla Magazine, Larks Fiction Magazine, and Cerulean Rain. Books for young readers include The Christmas Witchling and Little Tiger and the Dragon King of Beijing. Books for early readers include four illustrated storybook adventures and a coloring book (and now that he's a new daddy, he swears that more are coming). Patterson is known to wear other hats from time to time: he's been a songwriter, a vocal and/or artistic mechanic, a classically-trained actor (Shakespeare's Globe Theater, for one), a graphic designer, an illustrator, the co-founder of a charitable 1-for-1 book and toy company -- and he's the 1995 1st Runner-up National Karaoke Champion (don't tell anyone). Patterson is married and currently lives in Tarpon Springs, Florida, with his wife and daughter.
