Hello, my name is Patti. I am a mom to four children and I live on beautiful Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.

I have always loved to write and have completed and published my first romance/suspense novel.

I have done many interesting things in my life so far including owning my own hair shop as well as traveling from coast to coast in Canada and visiting almost every state in the U.S. I recently sold my pixel/web design business to concentrate on my writing.

Most days you can find me either acting goofy with the kids or working quietly at the computer.

My passion is ...

My children and my work

I know too much about ...

Changing diapers and cooking meatloaf

My parents always told me ...

That they were proud of me, even when I screwed up

My childhood ambition ...

Was to be a country music singer

Why I write ...

I write because it relaxes me and I love to share. I write because I feel I can.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I like all types of music. I read anything I can get my hands on and I watch very little tv.

My first job ...

I worked for my parents in their restaurant as gopher/dish washer/ cook when I was 13

My inspiration ...

My mother has always been my top inspiration.
