Patrick recently released his comical and adventurous new children's fiction novel "Chronicles Of A Lizard Nobody". Patrick delivers a hilarious middle-grade adventure with a mismatched group of animal students. Hall monitor lizards Zeke, Daniel, and Alicia must tackle unruly classmates and the pompous Pelicarnassus while protecting their school from wild threats.
