Genre: Short Stories/Literary Fiction

Dancing the crazy dance of worry, one day at a time.

A collection of short stories that examines the human capacity to worry about everything from forgetting to leave water out for a pet to the possibility of a bear attack.

"Short stories are a disappearing art form, and Patrick demonstrates why we should keep them around. There is no grandiosity of language that detracts from the storyline or from the artful character descriptions. Characters navigate their way through their predicaments one day at a time. The poignant vignettes showcase the rawness of various human emotions, much like a snapshot of an expert photographer."

"I loved this book! From beginning to end the characters smack of realism and you can see people you know or yourself in them. I wish it were the first book in a series of ten--because I wanted more!"

Anxiety in the Wilderness examines what it means to dance the crazy dance of worry and still be able to appreciate the music. It explores the human feelings of fear, dread, and uneasiness in the American landscape, as a cast of characters find their way through life, one day at a time.
