Pat Adeff writes clean and wholesome women's fiction, and family sagas as well as sweet romances about second chances - with just a hint of spice!

She's also written several laugh-out-loud comedies which have been produced in theaters from California to New York.

She loves writing, reading, and coffee ... lots of coffee. If you sign up for her newsletters, you'll receive an email when her latest book goes live.

Pat is an incurable romantic and definitely believes in second chances and happily-ever-afters.

In fact, several years ago she found her own second chance! She and her composer husband recently moved from NYC to the American Southwest and are enjoying the sunshine!

Although the story is about a woman and her two daughters (same as my scene) the rest is fiction. The story rapidly took on a life of it's own, and I read it as I was writing it. Alas, there's no Doug Saunders in my life, yet...(less)

Orson Scott Card
“Writer’s block is my unconscious mind telling me that something I’ve just written is either unbelievable or unimportant to me, and I solve it by going back and reinventing some part of what I’ve already written so that when I write it again, it is believable and interesting to me. Then I can go on. Writer’s block is never solved by forcing oneself to “write through it,” because you haven’t solved the problem that caused your unconscious mind to rebel against the story, so it still won’t work – for you or for the reader.”
Orson Scott Card
