Autorenporträt
P.S. (PAT) DOBIE wrote her first novella in three days with no prior writing experience. To her great surprise it was published to positive reviews with almost no revision. Despite this, or maybe because of it, she became obsessed with the crafts of writing and editing, wrote seven novels and four more novellas, and went on to become a full-time editor.
