About

I am an author, speaker and consultant. My newly released book NICE GIRLS ON TOP is about compassionate leadership for women. It proves that women are more successful when they follow their nurturing instincts rather than emulate cut-throat men.

I am also a former television writer. I wrote for the hit teen television show BOY MEETS WORLD.

Description

<p><strong><em>Have you ever awoken from a vivid dream and wondered which side of waking was real?</em></strong></p><p>Burt Higgins' retirement is not going well. His children have grown, and his wife has gone off to earn a late-life degree, leaving him alone in his sprawling suburban home. With too much time on his hands, he broods on the state of the world, obsessively following the worst of cable news and the Internet. Increasingly angry at the state of affairs, he nurtures a fantasy that a dark lord from another realm has foisted these problems on humankind. If only he could transport to that world, he'd confront the demon and use the magic found there to defeat the beast and end despair forever.</p><p>On a particularly bad news day, while housebound in the midst of a snowstorm, he retreats to his study to shut out the world and immerse himself in his books. When, on a whim, he lights a candle purchased in an obscure Prague curiosity shop, a magical guide appears and offers to take him on whatever quest he chooses. When he asks to become a hero in a fantasy realm, he discovers a more complex world than he expected, and battling evil with magic turns out to be far from his greatest challenge.</p><p><strong>EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS</strong> a specualtive fantasy adventure sure not just to entertain you, but to make you consider your life, your dreams, your goals.

Reviews

&quot;As a practicing Buddhist, I believe that having compassion for one another on a daily basis is essential for living a dignified life. Daily life includes the workplace. It is up to the leader to set the tone. A workplace where people are inspired, mentored and treated with kindness will always succeed. Patricia Forrester's book, Nice Girls on Top, demonstrates that beautifully. Yes, it's target audience is women, but men, too, can be inspired and learn the important lessons offered in this important and ground-breaking book.&quot; --  <strong>Herbie Hancock</strong>, Award-winning Musician and Composer<br /><br /><span>&quot;In her new book, Nice Girls on Top, TV writer Patricia Forrester conquers an issue female executives struggle with every day - how to be a nice boss without being a pushover.  It's a fine line, and Forrester teaches us to balance gracefully and effectively.&quot;  -- <strong>Alexandra Levit</strong>, Author of New Job, New You: A Guide to Reinventing Yourself in a Bright New Career</span><br /><br />&quot;The first step to getting what you want out of work is being who you want at work.
