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.

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.

Subscribe: RSS | More

We’re continuing our celebration of the love of reading and writing from National Book Lover’s Day on August 9th through National Author’s Day on November 1st.  Today it is my privilege to present my conversation with Sharon Schwerzel.

Sharon is a fourth generation Floridian who grew up in Tampa where she was able to run around barefoot, play on the nearby beaches, camp in parks and national forests before the modern-day camping and RV revolution, and she participated in the Girl Scouts. She earned her bachelor of science and Master of science degrees at Florida State University.  She taught chemistry at a local high school in Tallahassee, Florida and in the freshman program at Florida State.

Along the way Sharon found a summer job in the library at FSU and started off in a new direction, earning a Master of Science degree in Library Science at San Jose State University.  Later she’s worked at several well- known university libraries including Cornell University, Stanford University, Ohio State University and Florida State University.  In over 40 years in academic libraries she’s proud of her opportunity to teach, help create an online catalog, beta test science databases, see the growth of electronic journals and books, help design a library renovation, help move 2 libraries and be part of building a library.

Sharon’s interest in ethnic dance provided her with more opportunities to perform with 4 different dance groups and teach hula and exercise classes at various locations around Tallahassee.

An avid reader since childhood, Sharon has read mostly fiction, widely on the topics of business and psychology, and is now exploring her growing interest in Florida history.
