A candid discussion on how/why I became an indie author will illuminate the process that takes me from vision, to concept, to book cover. The discussion will highlight the importance of establishing a reliable network of professionals: graphic design, interior design, beta-readers, etc., as the team that will refine the vision I’m putting my heart into. With their trusted feedback, the finished product I take on the road is one I believe in and I’m confident I can sell.
Although born in California, Patricia grew up in Ecuador, South America, where her parents are from. She returned to the United States in the mid-1980s and until she was able to write full time, she developed a corporate career in International Sales Operations.
Raising a family in the 90s, she became a freelance translator, interpreting and teaching (English and Spanish) before a re-entry into the corporate world for one last ten-year stint.

She is an award-winning artisanal wordsmith and old-school scribbler of No A.I. philosophical fictions and supernatural escapes, She is author of eleven books.
