In Every Clime and Place Tapa blanda - 2014

The day after PATRICK LECLERC graduated from high school, he was standing at a terrified approximation of attention while a Drill Instructor roared at him in the sweltering heat of the United States Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, SC, and the sand fleas tried to chew their way to his soul. This might be considered the first in a series of hasty life decisions.

Today, he makes good use of his history degree by working as a paramedic for an ever- changing parade of ambulance companies in the Northern suburbs of Boston. When not writing he enjoys cooking, fencing, brewing his own beer, and making witty, insightful remarks with career-limiting candor.

In the lulls between runs on the ambulance --and sometimes the lulls between employment at various ambulance companies-- he writes fiction. You can find more of it at http: //inkandbourbon.com/
