April Patton

April Patton has lived in Oregon her whole life. She grew up on love and wishes, reading fairy tales and other stories featuring strong, female protagonists. A Way to Wish began as a short story; through the encouragement of Patton's family and friends, the pages kept coming, and became the first dream she'd ever held in her hands.

Patton is currently an undergraduate student pursuing art and creative writing at The College of Idaho. She spends most of her time reading and writing, and the rest thinking about reading and writing. A Way to Wish is her first novel.
