My name is Patricia, but everyone who knows me calls me Tricia or Trish.  I live in Charleston, SC on James Island with my parrot, Lexi.  I moved here in 2010 after living in Kentucky for 20 years so that I could change careers and go to culinary school.  I graduated from the Art Institute of Charleston in 2012 with a degree in culinary arts and am currently a chef at a retirement community on Mount Pleasant.  I love to read!!!  My favorite genres are fantasy, paranormal, and dystopian fiction.  Some of my favorite authors are big names like Karen Marie Moning, Kresley Cole, and Alexandra Ivy.  But I also love me some indie writers :) like Elle Casey, A.R. Ivonovich, and Angela White.  I read as much as possible and love to lose myself in a brilliantly written fantasy world whether it's about kick ass fairies or our world gone terribly wrong.
