Patrick Rizio has been everything from a Jazz dummer to a Cement Finisher to a Union Representative. He grew up reading science fiction and loves science, travel, dogs, music, and tennis. Thinkers he admires include David Deutsch, Karl Popper, Carl Sagan, and Carlo Rovelli. Always an avid reader, writing has become a passion for him. LaCost-The Evolution of Jason and Collaboration are the first two novels in the LaCost series. Sarah's Song, the third novel in the series, is coming soon.
