V. E. Patton spent as much of her childhood as she could lost in a good book. She spent most of her adult life lost in a good job as a nurse, midwife, CEO, coach and facilitator (amongst other things). After years of encouraging her children and clients to follow their dreams, she finally got around to remembering what she wanted to be when she grew up - so she began writing. "Ochre Dragon: The Opal Dreaming Chronicles Book 1" was her first fantasy (in a book). She hopes you get lost in it.She lives in central Victoria, Australia with her ever-patient husband, one of her three adult children and a menagerie of animals."Soul Staff: The Opal Dreaming Chronicles Book 2", is due for release in late 2021.
