I am so excited to be featuring several authors here on my blog as a part of the First Love Blog Hope.\u00a0 I wanted to give readers an intimate look at the author behind their books.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Author,<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>Violet Patterson<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Violet Patterson is a northwest Ohio native who spent much of her childhood creating plays (costumes and all!) for her younger siblings to perform.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>From there, she moved on to simplistic poetry and children’s stories – unfortunately works like “Adventures of Super Cookie” were never released to the masses.<\/p>\n

Ms. Patterson graduated from Miami University with a degree in social sciences. After several years in the field she decided to stop brainstorming in notebooks, on post it notes, and along the borders of her desk calendars.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Storm Sullivan was born from those efforts and eventually, “Ryder on the Storm – Emerald Seer I” was released as Ms. Patterson’s debut novel. The sequel, “Light My Fire.” was released in December 2011 followed by an accompanying novella, “Whiskey, Mystics, and Men” (early 2012) and the third full novel in the series, “Love Her Madly” (August 2012). The final installment, “End of the Night” is in progress with anticipated release in 2013.<\/p>\n

Two energetic children and a part time marketing assistant position keep her active and fulfilled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
