As a child growing up in the south, Carl Patterson had aspirations of one day becoming a published author. After the tragic death of his grandmother, his single-parent mother relocated him and his brother to the gang-infested streets of Bed-Sty Brooklyn to live. Knowing that he had to quickly adapt to the ways of the streets or become a street gang victim, he learned how to survive. After graduating from high school, he took a Creative Writing course to learn how to write. In 2006 he used his true-life experiences to publish his first novel entitled Cross Roads, which is a coming-of-age story. Carl has now embarked on a new challenge, which is called A Time to Rejoice. It is a story about four individuals with different views in life and obstacles they will have to overcome. Carl is hoping the reader will enjoy reading the story.
