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.
I've been pretty stationary since that move though I did move back to Germany for four additional years.
My husband, Greg, and I had three daughters which we raised in a beautiful rural community along with numerous dogs and cats.
I worked for two history museums for 32 years. When not writing I love to garden, do yoga and photograph birds,

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. Check out my website - pattiproauthor.com and read my Christmas story - "Corduroy Christmas". 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.

this was just the book I needed. My last book was an awful murder mystery with unlikable characters and way too much graphic sex! This children's book - which is perfect for all ages is just what I needed - a soothing balm.
Loved how it started. Love

"3.75 stars. A nice generic fantasy, but please, do not compare this to Tolkien, because that's a literary blasphemy."

The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose
"The writing in this book is horrifically bad. It sort of feels like a thesaurus threw up in the author's attempt to sound smart and it's quite painful to read. The dialogue was stunted and so odd to read and the narrative is not any better. None of t" Read more of this review »
The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose
"FYI saying a policeman “decided to go Rodney King” on someone isn’t cool or funny at all. Also the use of slurs for literally no reason was completely unnecessary from a white female author and added nothing to the story. This whole book is just a ma" Read more of this review »
