About PATRICIA

Patricia is an author and illustrator who writes picture books for children, and humorous books for children who’ve grown up.

After working as in the advertising world as an art director for many years, Patricia began to focus more on writing after becoming a mom. Her very first book “How To Tell If Your Boyfriend Is The Antichrist” was inspired by late nights with an infant and the Lifetime Movie Channel. (Note that this was in 2004, and the streaming options of today were not available.)

A segue into picture books came in 2012 with her debut “Alfie Is Not Afraid” for Disney/Hyperion.

Patricia has also designed and illustrated a number of best-selling gift items, from glassware to pillows to tea towels. Her favorite designs are inspired by family.

Her next picture book is “The Dogs Next Door”, possibly the world’s first canine noir. Coming in fall 2024 from Marble Press.

She lives in Pennsylvania and is currently working on her first graphic novel.
