Curiosity about the vast cosmos and a love for techno thrillers led Patrick Chiles to a fascinating writer’s journey which we explore in today's episode of "Art in Your Heart." Patrick's lifelong fascination with space, and a successful career in aviation, laid the foundation for his science fiction stories, where ordinary people embark on extraordinary adventures. From building rockets as a child to publishing popular novels as an adult, Patrick's story is a testament to the power of passion and imagination.
