Biography

About me, huh? Well, my official bio reads like this: Patti Larsen is a multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in her head. But that sounds so freaking formal, doesn’t it? I’m a storyteller who hears character's demands so loudly I have to write them down. I love the idea of sports even though sports hate me. I’ve dabbled in everything from improv theater to film making and writing TV shows, singing in an all girl band to running my own hair salon.

But always, always, writing books calls me home.

I’ve had my sights set on world literary domination for a while now. Which means getting my books out there, to you, my darling readers. It’s the coolest thing ever, this job of mine, being able to tell stories I love, only to see them all shiny and happy in your hands… thank you for reading.

As for the rest of it, I’m short (permanent), slightly round (changeable) and blonde (for ever and ever). I love to talk one on one about the deepest topics and can’t seem to stop seeing the big picture. I happily live on Prince Edward Island, Canada, home to Anne of Green Gables and the most beautiful red beaches in the world, with my pug overlord and overlady, six lazy cats and Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn.

Smashwords book reviews by Patti Larsen

  • The First Tale on Jan. 25, 2011

    Great read, fast pace, fun characters and environments with tons of twists and turns... it almost wore me out! My only complaint? More please!
  • Marooned on July 18, 2011

    Fantastic book so far! Fast paced, well written... really got into the MC. Kind of a nice to have it look like a book format rather than those annoying line spaces between paragraphs. I feel like I'm reading a book rather than a manual.
