Between working as a clinical educational therapist and flipping houses, Patty’s lifelong love of horses found her riding the remote back country of Patagonia, Peru, Mexico, and Europe, or gathering and moving cattle on California and Idaho ranches. Whether moving cattle or houses, Patty is an expert when it comes to organizing and executing an efficient move. Still on the go, she divides her time between a beautiful colonial town in the highlands of Central Mexico and Santa Barbara, California. When she isn’t writing, reading, or traveling, you may find her creating beauty in her garden, urban sketching, or enjoying time with friends, family, and her Rough Coat Collie, Max.
