Savage
What would YOU do if you lost the one thing in life that kept you civilized?

Tom Savauge was a normal, average guy--school teacher, father, law-abiding citizen--civilized. When he loses the one thing that makes his life special, Tom changes and walks a fine line between justice and revenge--discovering the savage within. Savage, by R. Patrick Gates is a tale of tragic loss, grief, violence, vengeance, romance and attempted redemption--an exploration of one of life's horrors and what it does to one man; how it changes him. The first new adult novel from R. Patrick Gates in nine years, SAVAGE is an emotionally-charged dark thriller; a little slice of real-life horror!

The Prison

Based on a real place and actual events, The Prison is a story of natural, unnatural, and supernatural incarceration. "The Hill," as New Rome Correctional Institute is known to guards and inmates alike, was once a state mental hospital,closed after a mysterious fire. Twenty years later it reopened as a prison, but the past won't stay buried, and, as the saying goes, those who forget it, are doomed to repeat it. 

"I'd say 80% of The Prison is based on actual accounts told to me by staff and former inmates. The overall plot and the ending are fictional, but the place is real." 
--R. Patrick Gates ​
