Biography
Patrick Chiles has been fascinated with airplanes, rockets, and spaceflight ever since he was a little kid growing up in South Carolina. How he ended up as an English major in college is still a mystery, though he managed to overcome this self-inflicted handicap to pursue a career in aviation.
He is a graduate of The Citadel, a Marine Corps veteran and licensed pilot. His novels are informed by a life spent around aircraft and the people who make them fly, convincingly portraying a near-future space industry filled with ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
In addition to his novels, Patrick has written for magazines such as Smithsonian's Air & Space. He currently resides in Tennessee with his wife and sons, two hyperactive dachshunds, and a bovine cat.
