Patrick Clay is a fifth-generation Texan, attorney, and action fiction author. While earning his law degree magna cum laude at night and running a locksmith shop by day, he discovered a talent for fiction. He launched the hard-hitting military series, Sergeant Hawk, in the 1970s, before turning to serve as an attorney for 50 years, 30 of which were with the federal government. Sparked by a resurgence of interest from the Paperback Warrior Podcast in 2019, he returned to writing.

His series of ten Sergeant Hawk novels, already classics in the war genre, has adopted additional elements of mystery, adventure, romance, fantasy, and literary themes in keeping with his admiration of authors Robert E. Howard and Edgar Rice Burroughs. He lives in Texas with his wife, with whom he raised three daughters. His father and six uncles were World War II veterans, all sharing his interest in history.
