Bücher von Andrew Patterson

Andrew Patterson looks back at his life growing up in suburban Brisbane and his career as a civil engineer in this memoir. Born during World War II, he grew up in a rented house in Doomben a short distance from the southern end of Brisbane's main Eagle Farm Aerodrome-not a particularly safe place to live during wartime. Many family members and friends used their home as a staging post on their way north to war. His family life was sometimes odd, with his father always urging him to do well in school-or else he would turn him and his brother, Gavin, into "e;bloody little Bank Johnnies."e; He said it in such a disparaging way that it sounded like this would be the worst punishment they could possibly suffer. He also recalls his array of experiences as a civil engineer working in Queensland and other projects throughout the world. Join the author as he shares a firsthand account of growing up in Queensland, his passion for sailing and flying, and his fascinating life as an engineer.

The Dead Files is a horror novel. In The Dead files, I follow two men from the Grateful Dead parking lot to the jam shed and then off into the veil. It's a political piece, and it's an acid trip. It's a book about the dead, the Grateful Dead, the soon-to-be dead written by a dead man. It's called The Dead Files. This book has murder, rape, riots, explosions, fistfights, demons, aliens, and even an appearance by the devil himself. I wrote this book while living in my van on napkins and open-house fliers in a drug-induced haze. It is a journey of the mind, and it is dripping with blood. It is The Dead Files.
