About the author

Patricia Steele

Patricia says, I'm a west coast girl that moved to the east coast and back again.  Twice.   My imagination has always been etched in music, color and rose-colored glasses.  I've had crazy characters and stories banging and fluttering around in my head, dying to get out, since I was old enough to hold a pen.  I'm a fan of historical fiction filled with adventure and romance.  And I’m addicted to genealogy and travel. My sense of humor runs a little rampant at times, I'm no stranger to laughter, and I love a good anticipation scene.  I am proud to state that The Girl Immigrant, the first novel in my Spanish Pearls Series, is now translated into Spanish and Italian.  And it led me to being part of a Spanish documentary due for release in 2018.   My next project is a memoir titled, Fairydust to Daffodils about my daughter and her fight with Cystic Fibrosis.
