It was about 2010 when I fell into writing by accident. Before then, my dream had been to be an artist like Picasso. I was bored, and I decided to write down a story that I always daydreamed about. After that story, another idea came. Then another. And another, until I got the idea for Being Human. The story struck me as something others might enjoy reading. I began learning all I could about the craft of writing and the business of publishing. In 2011, I self-published Being Human. Snapshots followed two years later.
Eventually, I created the pen name Patricia Josephine (apparently, I told my grandma to call me that when I was little) to publish adult fiction and as a way to keep it separate from my young adult novels.
After many years of floundering with writing and publishing, I established PJ&L Publishing and Design as an umbrella to host my pen names and other creative endeavors such as graphic design.
When I'm not writing about vampires, angels, demons, or alien abduction, I enjoy knitting, making jewelry, and painting. I am a born and raised Michigander and transplant Yooper––that means I can hold my hands up and point to where I live in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I met my husband in an Dragonball Z chat room in 2000, and in 2011 we were married on April 1st. I choose the date because I thought it'd be funny. I also enjoy baking and cooking, am a serious Whovian, and I have a morbid obsession with serial killers.
