She has published poems in over forty Old Mountain Press anthologies, magazines and journals with short stories in a local paper and anthology. Her mother was the lightning bolt and goodness behind her hardworking father. Both parents were born, raised in Duplin County and grew up during the “great depression”. They became productive working hard, shared small fortunes with many. Neither finished school, but lack of education never deterred their success; owning and operating several small businesses throughout their lives. Their accomplishments and good characters impacted life. Patsy dedicates writing and creative abilities to her mother’s unknown desire to write, chronicling events on small paper pieces, napkins and inside book fronts. As a young woman, Patsy’s desire to write blossomed in poetry, dwindled through survival, and while raising a child. Now older, her dream and passion continues, grows like water rushing downhill. Her eyes see the world differently than most and her philosophy beckons that difference in all her creative works. Family, friends, love and living continually inspire her.view less
