Hi, there. How are you?
Thank you for joining me on my website. I'm an author of fiction and non-fiction that ranges from self-help to sassy to spooky. I've been blogging since 2007 on many topics, and you can find my writing in many places on the world wide web, just by searching my name. Be sure to add in my middle initial "V" when you look for me, as there are many who go by the name "Patricia Davis" and some have committed felonies in Santa Fe. (Really. But that Patricia isn't me, I swear.)
Despite the diversity of my writing projects, they share the universal theme of what I like to call "female dynamism," which signifies women taking positive action to support each other and better the world around them. It's what I believe in, which is why I founded the Women’s PowerStrategy™ Conference.
I'm a former English teacher who holds a Master's Degree in Creative Writing and Education. I've always loved reading, but I knew I truly wanted to be a writer when my first work, a poem titled, "If This Woman Is Being Operated Recklessly" was published in New Press Quarterly magazine, the same year they published a poem by one of my literary role models, Lawrence Ferlinghetti. More than twenty years later, after my first book was published, I met Mr. Ferlinghetti when, at ninety years of age, he read at City Lights Books in San Francisco, and signed that very edition of the magazine for me, inspiring me all over again.
I'm always interested in people who live somewhere I don't or think differently than I do. I spend some time every day if I can on social networking sites, because the world and the people in it are all intriguing. I do love to write above all else, but here are some other random things about me:
Don't know how old I was when this was taken, but even then, books were important...
Thanks for stopping by!
XXX,
Patricia
