Look Away Silence (38 page)

Edward C. Patterson has been writing novels, short
fiction, poetry and drama his entire life, always seeking the
emotional core of any story he tells. With his eighth novel, The
Jade Owl, he combines an imaginative touch with his life long
devotion to China and its history. He has earned an MA in Chinese
History from Brooklyn College with further postgraduate work at
Columbia University. A native of Brooklyn, NY, he has spent four
decades as a soldier in the corporate world gaining insight into
the human condition. He won the 2000 New Jersey Minority
Achievement Award for his work in corporate diversity. Blending
world travel experiences with a passion for story telling, his
adventures continue as he works to permeate his reader's souls from
an indelible wellspring.
