Welcome to the home of Pat Sheridan and his writings on the web. If you are looking for information about Pat and his miniature golf interests, you can visit The Putting Penguin.
Note from the Author: Previously I had a spot on the web to showcase some of the short stories I had written since friends were interested in accessing them whenever they felt like it. However, with the launch of my first book last year and with hopefully more on the way in the future, I felt I needed to change the site up a bit to reflect my current writing interests. I've still provided links to the old short stories in case people are interested, but I personally think they pale a bit in comparison to the more contemporary writing.
Latest News (9/21/10): Yikes, it's been over a year since I updated the site and I'm basically in the same position with everything below. The only bright spot is that I'm much closer on getting the draft of The 25th Floor edited for the first time around. I guess the best I can do is tell you to keep checking here for updates!
Currently Working On:
- Max's Shadow (editing first draft)
- The 25th Floor (editing first draft)
- Buck Off (screenplay in the very earliest of stages)
- Windmills (screenplay in early stages of outline and writing)
