Our planet is full of mysteries that can’t yet be explained either by science or nature. How did these things, these creatures get here? Who made them, or how did they evolve? Are we the only inhabited planet in the vast universe? What if the Creator I believe in cannot be explained, and can’t be put into a box of limited reason? What if he’s populated other worlds? What if our own world contains populations we don’t acknowledge and try to discredit with our modern blinders?

Questions like these have plagued me since childhood, and it’s only recently that I’ve felt the nod from our Creator to explore them in writing.

I grew up as a military Brat, mostly in Europe, with no television and a huge imagination. Books were my entertainment and augmented my very good education in German, Italian and American schools. Books were my lifeline, my ties to worlds I’d never see and to people and characters who enriched my life through their stories.

My first book, Reflections of a Misfit, is just that: snippets of my own life in light of some of the scriptures I read daily. Our family is a rich resource for entertainment and bits of wisdom. If you’re as much a misfit as I am, you might enjoy it and possibly see a little of yourself there.

I wrote the TetraSphere series as pure entertainment, and as a way to answer some of the unanswerable questions about our amazing universe. What if there are inhabited planets interacting with Earth? What happened to Atlantis? What do the giant etchings of Nazca mean, and why can they only be seen from the sky? Do dragons exist? What if the fate of our planet were in the hands of four young people, each with special abilities, and each with his or her own struggles?

I’m Patty Perrin, writing as P.T.L. Perrin, and I’m writing books that I would have loved reading back when we didn’t have television. I'm a proud member of SeaQuill Writers Co-Op, Rave Reviews Book Club, Rave Writers International Society of Authors, and the Florida Writers Association.
