Patricia is an oral storyteller. The eldest of five children, she gathered her younger siblings and the neighborhood children around her home to tell many tall tales. When she became a mother and a grandmother, this tradition continued. Since her grandchildren beg for the story on a continuing basis, she decided she needed to record the story for others to enjoy. Creativity is a passion for Patricia. She is a ceramist, gourmet cook, avid reader, gardener, and artist.
