I am an army brat and so appropriately I was born on an army post. I spent the next 26 years of my life moving around. I moved fifteen times and attended schools on three different continents and college on two.
After graduating from college with a degree in history and literature, I returned to Frankfurt, Germany which was my Father's last duty station. I worked there until I married and moved to Virginia.

But I do use incidents from my life in my books but I twist and tweak them a bit. I refer to my work as biographical fiction. Often an incident from my past gives rise to an idea.

The inspiration for that story was a rather hideous corduroy suit but the rest of the story is complete fiction.(less)
Patti Gaustad Procopi I don’t hVe writer’s block. My head is full of ideas! Too many at times. I have issues with making myself sit down and work. It can be exhausting.

I started this book without any idea what it was about. It was constantly popping up on people's must read lists but I am often wary of overly popular books, though I confess I often have to agree when I break down and read one of them.

I am so sorry to give this book only a three. I loved Pooley's first two books - probably up there with my all time favs! So I was so excited when I saw this one in my local bookstore and snapped it right up.
