Pat Stoltey

I grew up on a farm in central Illinois and have also lived in Oklahoma (windy), Indiana (like Illinois), the south of France (such fun), and Florida (wet). I used to be an accounts payable manager and worked for a wonderful grocery chain in Indiana, another in Florida, and finally, and office supply corporation based in Florida.

Now retired, I live in Colorado with my husband and critters Sassy Dog and Katie Cat. 2010 marked the 50th anniversary of my high school graduation. Yes, we had a grand reunion. I thought it would be more scary than facing a pool of alligators, but we had a great time and stirred up some wonderful memories.

When I'm not writing, I read. I love television and movies, too, especially "reality" shows like Survivor and Big Brother, as well as mysteries and cop shows such as the British series on PBS. I'm a member of Mystery Writers of America, Rocky Mountain Mystery Writers of American, Sisters in Crime, Sisters in Crime-Colorado, Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, and Pikes Peak Writers. I mostly write as Patricia Stoltey, so my other books (The Prairie Grass Murders, The Desert Hedge Murders, and Dead Wrong) are found under that author name.
