About Me: Thirty years ago Patricia fulfilled a lifelong dream to live in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and with the introduction of a digital camera, she began an unrestricted exploration of her true love—nature photography. She captures nature’s glory in a moment that also conveys her deep heartfelt emotional connection to the site. Patricia provided the cover photo for the 2016 Blowing Rock, NC calendar, cover shots for books and the inaugural Evening Paper journal, and a photo in Oct 2015 for Nat Geo’s “Inside Access” story. Her photographs have appeared in the 2015, 2016 and 2017 volumes of County Lines Literary Journal as well as the 2017 official Blue Ridge Parkway calendar.
Patricia has been her husband Monty's professional partner in the research and writing of more than fifty major literary works that include novels, non-fiction books, screenplays, short stories, and poetry.
