The Profiler
In 1990, a young woman was strangled on a jogging path near the home of Pat Brown and her family. Brown suspected the young man who was renting a room in her house, and quickly uncovered strong evidence that pointed to him -- but the police dismissed her as merely a housewife with an overactive imagination. It would be six years before her former boarder would be brought in for questioning, but the night Brown took action to solve the murder was the beginning of her life's work. Pat Brown is now one of the nation's few female criminal profilers -- a sleuth who assists police departments and victims' families by analyzing both physical and behavioral evidence to make the most scientific deter...
Miss You, Pat
Captain Patrick J. Brown of the FDNY had an uncanny ability to be exactly where he was needed at exactly the right time, most especially on 9/11/2001, when he perished, surrounded by scores of burn victims he was trying to evacuate from the World Trade Center. Everyone who knew Pat agreed that he would have been nowhere else that day. And yet, Pat was much more than a firefighter. Pat was a yoga devotee. A Black Belt in karate who taught the blind. An accomplished boxer. A USMC Vietnam War vet. A Broadway musical theatre buff. And throughout it all, a spiritual seeker. Many people whose lives he touched shared their stories and memories with his close friend and former fiancee. The result is an intimate and moving book, with first-person narratives illustrating Pat's deep and varied life. Idiosyncratic, personal memories blend with career stories that illustrate what made him such an intuitive, beloved friend, and such a legend in the FDNY. He inspires us all.

Killing For Sport
Killing for Sport is the most valuable insight into the minds of serial killers you’ll ever read. While other profilers tend to conceal the clear facts behind complex technical language and psychobabble, Pat Brown actually tells it like it is. Killing for Sport will intrigue you with its honest portrayal of the predator-next-door: how he hunts for his victims, why he likes to torture them, where he tends to stash their bodies, and more. Movies such as The Silence of the Lambs, Se7en, American Psycho, and many others have created myths about serial killers that need to be dispelled: If you think that most serial killers are eccentric, white, male intellectuals like Hannibal Lecter, then you had better read Killing for Sport to learn the truth. The more our society is informed about these predators and what really goes on in their minds, the more equipped we will be to protect ourselves from them. With the same dark wit that gets people who work with the criminally insane through their workday, Brown speaks frankly about the monsters among us who kill for sport.
California Rising
It is now commonplace to say that the future happens first in California, and this book, the first biography of legendary governor Edmund G. "Pat" Brown, tells the story of the pivotal era when that idea became a reality.

Kennedy, and the Brown family dynasty. Ethan Rarick mines an impressive array of untapped sources—such as Pat Brown's diary and love letters to his wife—to tell the unforgettable story of a true mover-and-shaker within his fascinating and turbulent poli...

Zin's Red Light Room
Welcome to Planet Waybei, home of Zin Land, a utopian republic ruled by women. While the women of Zin Land dominate their providential society, men are enslaved as Pleasure Males in the government-run Red Light Rooms or worked to death in the fields and mines beyond the city walls. But when a field hand escapes across the Great Desert and raises an army to challenge the monolithic power of the Zin Corporation, it’s up to Alice, a rising star in the council government, to defend her country. To defeat Kwan’s army, Zin society must evolve—but can Alice change her world in time to save her people, or will Kwan’s horde make slaves of them all? The first installment of Pat Brown’s Waybei epic, Zin’s Red Light Room is at once social commentary and science-fiction opera, a novel that turns the tables on gender and society, inverts traditional power dynamics, and asks the question, Can utopia truly exist? If so, at what cost?
Pay Attention!
Downtown Pat Brown, who was born and raised in Buffalo, New York, took some years to write "Pay Attention," which chronicles blunt details of 'never told' stories of a young brown girl who survived growing up during times of history's "Great Depression." Best known for her 'get-down' move and grooves on the dance floor, playing pokeno, bingo, having her annual Pine Grill Reunion Shelter or hitting up the Casino slots, she earns the title of being 'the life of any party, ' and that has been her forte' for well over six decades. You'll see how in her work, "Pay Attention," that she is also one who speaks her mind, and will often tell you, "What comes up.... Comes out!"Good, bad, or indifferent, 'Downtown Pat Brown' breaks the mold as she takes on her own advice in "Pay Attention" by using her own catchy phrases to describe the height and depth of her vibrant existence causing her to be fulfilled and her mission unmistakable! Her Memoir was painful but necessary, funny yet true, revealing, but oh, so rewarding!
