90 Percent Half-True, a collection of short stories by Keith Patterson

Because these tales were less written by me than gifted to me by the Universe, I can no more claim authorship than I can deny experiencing these events. The rest is just hyperbole. -- Keith Patterson

Writer Keith Patterson

From Jim Crow laws exposed in Southern Mississippi, through the Catacombs of Paris and out past the Cosmos of Einstein and Hawking, this is one wild ride.

Keith Patterson’s humorous tales capture a life well-lived in full-flight. Heartfelt and hilarious, this collection is worth reading more than once. The author takes us along on adventures from Virginia to southernmost Mississippi, out to California and back, and across the ocean to Paris, charting milestones and mis-steps in a self-deprecating style that might inspire you to give up your Apple laptop and go paint a fence.

Patterson resides with his wife, Kelli, and assorted horses, donkeys, dogs and cats, at Kastle Keep Farm in Berryville. The Cosmic Harvest Gallery, which features Keith’s paintings, is in a stand-alone building on the farm. Details: www. cosmicharvest.com
