Patrick Beason

About the Author

Patrick was raised in the Oil and Gas business; his father was in upper management of the Sinclair Oil Company. He spent much of his life in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and was involved in go-kart racing and, later on, auto racing. He always had an interest in structural design and drafting of welded structures. After serving in the military during the Vietnam War, Patrick studied structural engineering in college and began designing telescoping oil rig derricks for a company in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Shortly after designing rig derricks, Patrick got involved in insurance company management, and later, he was recruited to move to the Dallas, Texas, community to manage a team of individuals in an oil company drilling horizontal oil wells in South Texas. Patrick excelled in oil well placement and oil well completion and developed his own oil and gas well exploration and production company. He is married, has two daughters and seven grandchildren; he also has two beautiful German Shepherds.

Patrick's love for German Shepherds is a defining aspect of his life. Their unmatched loyalty and devotion to their family resonate deeply with him. As a dog person, he appreciates that many breeds display such devotion. His two German Shepherds, who accompany him everywhere, even find a place in his books, adding a personal touch to his work.

This book is the combination of a sci-fi fan and a horror movie lover. Combining the two genres would be a great match for readers with the same appreciation of these movies, especially with the cryptid creatures thrown in.
