Fitzpatrick was born in Anaconda, Montana, the eldest son of a smelter pipe fitter and a school teacher. In 1974, he earned a Ph.D in Sociology from Ohio State University.
While confined to bed for several weeks with a severe lung infection during graduate school, Fitzpatrick began reading mystery novels and became fascinated by the challenge of crafting an entertaining story. Sherlock Holmes: The Montana Chronicles is Fitzpatrick's first book.

And here's a quote from Sherlock Holmes:
"Love is an emotional thing, and whatever is emotional is opposed to that true cold reason which I place above all things. I should never marry myself, lest I bias my judgment."
