About

Patrick Draper

Patrick Draper is a Canadian author with extensive public-sector experience, having worked closely with politicians at the provincial and municipal levels. Over his career, he has witnessed the inspiring vision and compassion of principled leaders—and the darker side of politics, where power, ego, and corruption can undermine the very communities elected officials are meant to serve.

Those experiences inform his fiction, which explores ambition, moral compromise, and the personal cost of standing up to entrenched power. His stories draw on real-world civic battles, where the highest stakes are often found far from national headlines.

Patrick is the father of four adult children and six grandchildren. He lives in Paris, Ontario, with his wife, Kristine, and their golden retriever, Toby.
