Patrick Guest was raised in the Melbourne beachside suburb of
Seaford. Even as a child, Patrick was writing stories, starring in
his own Powerful Patrick series: a major hit with his Mum,
Dad and rabbit Snowball.
A desire to be Michael J Fox took Patrick down the corporate path.
After gaining a commerce degree at Melbourne University, followed
by a three-year stint with a big mining company, Patrick realised
that he was possibly the world's worst accountant. A dramatic
change saw Patrick go back to study physiotherapy, and in 2000 he
landed his dream job at the Sydney Olympics.
It wasn't until his children were born that Patrick started writing
professionally. Since then he's had three picture books published
-- That's What Wings are For, The Ricker Racker Club
and the acclaimed The Second Sky with Jonathan Bentley.Tom
