We continue our series, The Words They Write with a flashback to a past episode featuring author Pat Stanford, originally published on January 24, 2021.
Pat Stanford was born in Philadelphia. Her farming family moved to Delray Beach, Florida when she was one, looking for year-round growing seasons. She lived there until a brief stint in the Air Force took her to California.
She graduated Florida State University with a B.S.in Secondary Education, which was never used for its intended purpose. She has poetry published in several anthologies and won second place in the 2004 Seven Hills Contest with her short story, Divorce Sale. Her book, Fixing Boo Boo, is a slightly fictionalized account of what happens when a brain-injured sibling comes to live with a sister who doesn’t know what that means.
After being introduced to growing roses by her father, Pat created her own rose garden. She served as President of the local rose society and is a bronze medal recipient with the American Rose Society.
Pat lives in Tallahassee, Florida with her husband and a quirky cat, and is currently working on a follow-up to Fixing Boo Boo as well as a novel set in Mongolia. Pat has two books of poetry: Proverbs of My Seasons Poetry of Transition and A Motley Miscellany Misfit Poems that Fit Together. You can find all of Pat’s books at Amazon www.amazon.com or Documeant Publishing www.Documeantpublishing.com
