In his impressive and highly prolific writing career, Pat Hester hasn't written any bestsellers. Nor has he authored any great literature of distinction. However, he has written his signature on many fascinating surfaces including personal checks, tax forms, and a credit card receipt from last night's dinner. Also, some of his columns have appeared in The Kansas City Star. "Christmas Mall Follies" is his first book. He lives near a mall in Overland Park, KS and is proud to say that he has never "Shopped 'Till He Has Dropped."
