Pat SawtelleIn 2008 Pat's mind began shoving out images, scenes, and words. She hoped putting them on paper would make them stop. However, when you turn on the water, it just keeps coming and so did the words. Moving from spiral notebooks to a computer allowed te words to form more efficiently. In a short 5 1/2 years she wrote the fifteen novels that would form the Chalice Princess series. Ready to get her feet wet in the publishing world she signed with a local speculative publisher.

Working with the author team she led a two-year giving back program called It's All About Writing. Appearing in local libraries the group taught and recorded videos to share what we'd learned with other budding writers. In 2018, the millennials in her life peppered her with life challenges as they began moving from their parent's homes and college dorms into apartments and houses. They regularly complained that adulting sucked as they came to see mom and grab a banana chocolate chip pecan muffin (yummy).

After a few life interruptions, Pat focused on finishing up Adulting Doesn't Have To Suck books. Read More Read Less
