Patrick M. Tracy's Interests
|
| General | I'm interested in all things concerning writing and publishing, but I'm also eternally trying to keep up with the computer business. I've been interested in the open source movement and Linux for the last few years, and routinely use Ubuntu, Openoffice.org, and other open source software. I enjoy weightlifting, photography, and technology. In my spare time (if I have any), I liked to hang around with friends and talk about nerdy things like operating systems, the publishing industry, movies, and historical battles. | | Music | Extreme Music: Opeth, Wintersun, Immortal, Iced Earth (with Matt Barlow), Dark Tranquility, Runemagick, Bolt Thrower, Krisiun, Nocturnal Rites, Manowar...
Rock: Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen, The Who, The Stones, Del Amitri, Wallflowers...
Jazz: Miles Davis, John Coletrane, MJQ, Oscar Peterson, Ahmad Jamal, Dave Brubeck, Keith Jarrett, Bill Frisell, Cannonball Adderley, Mark Isham, Les McCann...
Classical: Bach, Beethoven, Sibelius, Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, Wagner... Soloist for the ages: Jascha Heifetz on the violin, no questions asked. | | Movies | I'm a big movie buff. I love all the old Films Noir, as well as modern films such as Tombstone, The Red Violin, Serenity, A Princess Bride, and far more than I can reasonably list. | | Television | The Wire is the BEST SHOW EVER! I also like Rome, Battlestar Galactica (the new one), Deadwood, 24, Law and Order, and so on. | | Books | Orwell, Solzhenitsyn, Twain, Tolkien, Burroughs, King, Lovecraft, Howard... | | Heroes | Everyone who has the moxie to make it as a full-time writer. |

Patrick M. Tracy's Blurbs |
About me:
A mild-mannered computer technician by day, I don the ceremonial comfy shirt and write all sorts of speculative fiction by night. Note: speculative fiction is all the fun stuff you're not supposed to read during your algebra class in school. Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror...that sort of thing.
|
Who I'd like to meet:
Editors, agents, and publishers who are looking for a new voice in Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Horror. Great writers (both new and established) who don't mind sharing their thoughts and experiences about the business, the craft, and life in general.
