Patricia lives in rural Michigan with her husband, children, parents, and a small assortment of domestic animals. With a house so full, it's certainly never boring! 

Her favorite pastimes, besides writing, are traveling, kayaking, camping and just plain, old-fashioned relaxing. 

To date she has published eight books, with several others in various stages of the creative process.

Patricia and her husband are combining their 25th wedding annivarsary and research for an upcoming book into a trip to Ireland, England, and France in early 2014.
