Best-selling six-time Chanticleer International Book Award, Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference SELAH Award, and Word Guild of Canada Award-winning author Patrick E. Craig has only been writing professionally since 2011. His new career follows many years as a performing artist and then several more as a pastor/worship leader. Since 2011, he has published nineteen books through Harvest House, Harlequin, Elk Lake and his own publishing imprints, P&J Publishing and Islands Publishing. He has written Amish Fiction, Historical Fiction, Mystery, Western, YA, memoir and Action-thriller books. His Riveting World War II Islands series, written with Murray Pura, is a triple CIBA award winner.

Patrick’s goal as a writer is to move beyond genre writing with novels and literary fiction that present realism and truth from a Biblical world-view.

Patrick has served as a teacher and adjunct faculty member at the ACFW live conference, the ACFW Online Conference, the Northwest Christian Writer’s Conference, the West Coast Christian Writer’s Conference, the Creative Christian Symposium, and will be teaching at the 2024 Vision Christian Writer’s Conference, the same venue where he got his start as a writer thirteen years ago.

He currently has three books that will release in 2023-2024.
