About the author

Patricia Simpson grew up in the wilderness of Western Montana, where it meant a 3-1/2 hour drive just to buy shoes. When she was young, the iPod hadn't yet been invented, and there were no radio stations in the area, so on the many long drives for shoes, Patricia amused herself by reading novels or creating her own stories in her head. She was encouraged to write by her sister, who always asked to be read what she had written so far that day, her Egyptian-born English teacher in junior high, and then again by a creative writing professor at the University of Washington. Instead of seeking a writing degree, Patricia chose to pursue a BA in Art and has worked as a graphic artist/web developer at the University of Washington since 1982. Patricia still enjoys painting almost as much as she loves to write.

Ms Simpson has won numerous awards for her fiction, including Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award, Career Achievement Award, and has been a finalist in the RITA awards and for Best Indie Paranormal of the Year.

Her Scottish husband encourages her to accompany him on his frequent business trips around the world, and whenever possible Patricia goes with him to scope out spooky historical places to use as the settings of her books.

Visions of My Heart", July 14, 2007

***** 5 stars

"Dancing in the Moonlight" was a lovely poetry book that had poems from the authors childhood, poems of Chinese astrology that were very educational, spiritual poems and poems that showed her love for her Mum and those in her family. I enjoyed all of this poet's poems but especially liked, "Ghosts and Spirits," "Life as a Tree," "A Lake of Love, ""A Woman Sat, ""Another Woman Stood," and "My Dog Jock". The author writes well in both fantasy and reality poems. Her spiritual faith I felt as I read her collection within this book. I highly recommend to anyone. All of her poems are well written and bring joy to the reader. Christina R Jussaume -- www.Poetesscrjussaume.com Another lovely book to add to my poetry library. Kudos once again!

Sometimes free books can be fun. Like cotton candy for the brain.
