Sovereign: Book Two: Give Me A Child (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780982836514)

John Pattillo's first novel, Sovereign, in three parts, introduces characters and events unlike any you have ever encountered. He believes that it is an author's job to create a story that the reader has never seen before. The third of five children, John was born in San Antonio, Texas, and grew up in McAllen, San Juan, and Portland, Oregon. To these residences he added Hartford, Princeton, Chicago, and Baltimore, while receiving Bachelors and Masters degrees in philosophy from Princeton and Roosevelt University. A painter and sculptor, he teaches artistic anatomy at the Schuler School of Fine Arts in Baltimore, an invaluable aid in creating the novel - Sovereign - about a brilliant painter whose greatest enemy is his half-brother. John wrote copy for the "Sales Literature and Graphics" Department of Pratt & Whitney Aircraft and, after becoming a ballroom dance champion, wrote articles on current issues in ballroom dancing for the national monthly, Dance Beat. His Towson Dance Studio, which he owns and operates with his wife Barbara, is one of the most respected in the world of ballroom dancing.
