Pat Conroy (born October 26, 1945 in Georgia) is a New York Times bestselling author who has written such acclaimed works as The Lords of Discipline, Beach Music, The Great Santini, The Prince of Tides, The Water is Wide, The Boo, My Losing Season, and .

Conroy is a graduate of The Citadel, and his experiences there provided the setting, if not the plot, for The Lords of Discipline.
