Nationally bestselling author Patti O'Shea has won many
awards for her writing and been nominated for even more. Her books have
appeared on the Barnes & Noble, Waldenbooks, and Borders bestseller lists
and earned starred reviews in Publishers Weekly and Booklist.
At various points in her life, Patti O'Shea wanted to be a
doctor, an astronomer, a marine biologist, and a photographer before she
discovered writing as a teenager. That's when she knew what she really
wanted to be when she grew up.
After finishing college, Patti went to work for a major US
airline in Minneapolis. This gave her an opportunity to see far off places like
Papua New Guinea, Kiribati, and the Yukon in Canada. Along the way, she
experienced lots of cool things. In Alaska, she saw a humpback whale breach
near her catamaran, she slid down a wooden rail in a salt mine in Austria, and
she visited all of King Ludwig’s castles in Germany, among many other
adventures.
When Patti decided to get serious about writing, she
discovered that her travel and her eclectic education were all training to
become an author. She currently lives in Atlanta, where she still works for a
major US airline.
