like able characters with good solid writing and
plot. More soon please! The further adventures of
the immortal medic would make a great series.
Prequels about other places and times offer all
kinds of story lines."

"Broken Crossroads delivers very strong fantasy
in the vein of Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser. The
characters are believable and interesting, the
dialogue feels natural. The book flows very well,
and is a quick read without shortchanging the reader.
Looking forward to the next in the series."

"Awesome short story by Patrick Leclerc. Has
all the things I loved from Out of Nowhere but
with the main character thrown into a completely
different setting. The Napoleonic Wars.
Great action. Great dialogue. Great stuff."

By Author Patrick LeClerc
This site is a central directory for the writings of a jaded, nigh unemployable paramedic.
In the lulls between saving lives and making a difference on ambulance shifts, (and sometimes in the lulls between employment at various private ambulance companies) he has been known to write speculative fiction.
Sometimes this is speculation about fantastic worlds, or the future of humanity. Sometimes it's just speculating about the chances the bartender will forget his face and start serving him again.

Immortal Vagabond Healer Series
Book 1
Sean Danet is immortal—a fact he has cloaked for centuries, behind enemy lines and now a paramedic’s uniform. Having forgotten most of his distant past, he has finally found peace. But there are some things you cannot escape, however much distance you put behind you.
Book 2
Immortal Sean Danet can heal others with a touch. Finally, after too long as a rootless vagabond, he has found a place he feels he belongs, with friends he can trust and the love of an intelligent, beautiful woman. The life he dreamed of but never expected to attain.
Short Historical Adventures
One of the problems with being immortal is you get to live through all of history's most famous blunders. Like Napoleon's inspired idea for a land war in Asia. If you love historical military fiction, action and adventure, or just one of the sexiest urban fantasy heroes of all, Advancing on Paris is a must.

Spitting Image is a tense, twisting adventure where Sean must confront both deadly enemies and the consequences of his own decisions on what is worth defending.
