Patricia Dixon was born in Manchester in 1964 and is married with two very grown up children and one gorgeous grandchild. After studying Fashion at Preston Polytechnic in the 80's she started her working life in London amidst the mad world of couture and designer tantrums.When the sparkle eventually wore off she returned to Manchester to a more sedate existence travelling the UK producing clothing for high street stores. Twenty five years later, after swapping fashion for bricks and mortar and working alongside her husband in their building company, she found herself with an empty nest and her secret ambition to write novels could at last become a reality. The inspiration for her first novel � Bient�t was a combination of places visited and the many wonderful characters she has met during her time in the Loire Valley where she has a second home. Her follow up novel Trois M�res was released in June 2014 and in this tale we revisit St Pierre to catch up with its inhabitants, meet new characters and discover how Rosie came to be in France. This was followed in November by her third novel, set in the Loire around Christmastime where romance blossoms at Rosie's hotel. A Perfect Summer Wedding was released in March 2016. Patricia receives letters from readers worldwide and loves to hear from you so if you would like to share your thoughts on any of her novels or just get in touch to say hi, she always writes back ! The photographs shown on this and her Facebook page are snapshots of the Loire and from around her home, which provide inspiration for her writing. Everything written comes from the heart, is a reflection of real life experiences or those shared with others and woven into a tale that unearths the things that matter to everyone. See less
