Meet C. Patrick Schulze

I, as do we all, wear many hats. I’m the father of two wonderful daughters of which one is an actor and an engineer. I could not be more proud of either one. (I’ve been advised there are no longer “actresses” – both genders are actors these days.  *Sigh*)

I am married to the lovely, intelligent and talented Katy. We live in Richmond, VA.

My background is in business, having owned my own business since the tender age of ten when I peddled newspapers on street corners.  Through the intervening years I’ve owned a chain of retail stores, a wholesale printing company, a computer education company and a business coaching organization.

I now work full-time in an effort to make my retirement living with the pen.

I am working on my third manuscript and feel this is my breakout novel. With my first manuscript, I learned to create compelling characters and the use of conflict. My second taught me how to pen that good story onto paper and the power in effective dialogue. My current manuscript has heightened my command of the craft and taught me how to work within the writers’ industry.

I’m on my way, folks. See you on the shelves soon.
