About

My name is Patricia Longthorp and I have been writing as a hobby most of my life, mostly short stories, poetry, songs and essays.
I wrote a play with someone a long time ago and also helped my sister-in-law write a book about the disappearance of her son.
I am from England but my husband and I have lived in Tenerife since 2002 as the climate is better for our grand-daughter who has Cystic Fibrosis.

Story Behind The Book

I have been writing short stories for many years so decided to publish a dozen of them as an ebook. I read writing advice sites and blogs when I should be writing myself and am completely green as to protocol and have blundered through the process. I usually come across good advice and helpful information totally by accident. i.e. I came across this site when I was looking for information on Facebook´s author pages! (Hopefully to be set up soon) I understand that having a "platform" is necessary and that is what I am working on at the moment. My stories are fictional laced with a tinge of personal experience. Of course, I like them and hope others will too.
