Picture this: pajamas, chocolate milk, a bowl of cereal the size of a small moon, and a laptop that probably deserves hazard pay. That’s Patti’s natural habitat. While the rest of the world is pretending to be serious adults, she’s busy spinning stories that sparkle, spook, and sometimes even involve dogs with thumbs.
Yep—you heard right. Patti is the creative powerhouse behind ELLIOT FINDS A HOME, an animated TV series starring a Sheltie with opposable thumbs (because why not?) and his boy with Autism. It’s heartwarming, hilarious, and proof that Patti’s imagination has absolutely no off-switch.
But don’t let the cereal crumbs fool you—this woman is a literary juggernaut. Patti’s writing has landed her on the USA TODAY Bestseller list, earned her the title of International Bestselling Author, and she’s hit #1 in seven different genres more times than she’s changed out of those pajamas. (Priorities, people. Comfort first.)
📚 Over 200 books later… she’s still going strong. From culinary cozy mysteries that will make you hungry, to swoony Hallmark-style romances that will make you sigh, to Halloween tales that will have you checking the shadows—Patti does it all.
And her real life? Oh, it’s a story too.
She’s:
- Been on Romper Room at age four (her first big break).
- Shared screen time with Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green Jeans.
- Met Bozo the Clown (and lived to tell the tale).
- Split a train sandwich with Sidney Poitier (classy, right?).
- High-fived President Nixon at the circus (yes, the circus—where else?).
- Went to school with David Copperfield (no, he didn’t make her lunch disappear).
- Roller-skated with a young John Travolta (stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive).
- And sipped cocoa with Abe Vigoda.
Let’s not forget Uncle Floyd—a walking plot twist of a man—who kept life colorful in ways only he could.
When she’s not writing (translation: still in those pajamas), Patti lives her best grandma life. She cheers on Scooby-Doo reruns, referees the antics of her two scheming pups (world domination pending), and on tough writing days swaps the chocolate milk for Chocovine—because sometimes the muse needs a little wine with its chocolate.
Oh, and did I mention she’s a Wiccan High Priestess? Yup. Officially crowned the Queen of Halloween, Patti brews up magical, spooky tales that keep her readers enchanted and maybe just a teensy bit nervous about what’s lurking under the bed.
So come hang out in Patti’s world—it’s cozy, it’s quirky, and it’s where imagination wears pajamas and never apologizes for it.
