Although she won prizes for writing while a student, and earned degrees in English literature, marriage and family therapy, and counseling and educational psychology, she chose a career in medicine as a Physician Assistant. But she never abandoned her first love, and in 2013 published her first Quinn DeMello novel, Runaway. Retired now, Patti travels widely—most recently spending time in Washington, DC, Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Maui, Hawaii—always looking for new locations for her characters and their stories of love and change. When not circumnavigating the globe, Patti lives with her standard poodle, Izzy, in Northern Nevada.ver menos
