A Few of the Places I’ve Walked

I’m Patricia — writer, storyteller, and lifelong student of the quiet magic living inside ordinary things.

I’m drawn to lyrical fiction because it asks us to look twice: to see how a teacup can become an altar, how grief and wonder can share the same table, and how the visible world shimmers when touched by memory, longing, and attention.

My roots are tangled with moonlit gardens, salt air, and tide-washed shores. For decades, I’ve gathered stories shaped by thresholds — stories where loss, beauty, mystery, and resilience live side by side.

I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Goddard College, where my love of lyrical and cross-genre work deepened. I have read tarot for more than thirty years, weaving intuition, image, and myth into guidance for seekers. I’ve also owned two metaphysical shops, mentored writers and spiritual explorers, and served as a pastoral and hospice companion, holding space at some of life’s most sacred crossings.

My current creative heartbeat is Thistle Bay: Where the Cat Bones Sing, a novel of magical realism and ancestral healing — a love letter to complicated women, haunted houses, haunted hearts, and second chances.

Lantern light, roses that remember, kitchen tables, salt air, and the hush of the sea — these are the textures of my work, and the life I love to share.t remember—these are the textures of my work and the life I love to share.
