 William B. Patrick is a writer whose works have been published or produced in several genres: creative non-fiction, poetry, fiction, screenwriting, and drama. Saving Troy, his new creative non-fiction chronicle of a year spent living and riding with the professional firefighters and paramedics of the Troy, NY Fire Department’s 1st Platoon, accompanying them to emergency medical calls, rescues, and fires, will be published in October, 2005, by Hudson Whitman. Dennis Smith, author of Report from Engine Co. 82, as well as the recent bestseller Report from Ground Zero, has already spoken of Saving Troy as "an important, exciting, and extremely well-done narrative." From that experience, Mr. Patrick has also written a screenplay, Fire Ground, as well as a radio play, Rescue.
Rescue was commissioned by the BBC for their Season of American Thirty Minute Plays, and aired world-wide on BBC 3 in 1997. An earlier teleplay, Rachel's Dinner, starring Olympia Dukakis and Peter Gerety, was aired nationally on ABC-TV in 1991, and his third feature-length screenplay, Brand New Me, was optioned by Force Ten Productions of Los Angeles and allegedly used as the basis for the remake of The Nutty Professor, which was the top-grossing hit comedy of the 1996 summer. Mr. Patrick reached a successful resolution with Eddie Murphy and Universal Studios over this issue late in 1998.
