Members, if you can please write the questions in bold; it would be easier for her to know that you have asked a questions and less chance that it will be missed. Thanks!

finally found you! I'd love to win your book but I don't have an e-reader. Any recommendations?

It seems you have a computer or access to a computer so I can send you a download to the computer. Also for future reference you can get a free app to download books from Amazon.com and I believe the same is true for Nook and Smashwords.

I seem to really like Canadian authors. I have no idea what the draw really is. As far as your book though, do you have to think about your audience reading your book, like not using Canadian grammar? I have been to Victoria LOVE THE Million Dollar yearly flowers!
A general question too I have(compared to TV)is: Are the book publishers different/seperate in Canada? Do you have to look for American publisher? Can you feely write with Canadian grammar if you wanted, or do publishers request you don't?
It just seems I have loved all the canadian authors, but I have not found that many.
I am glad to find another Canadian Author to read! I worked for a Union Based out of Montreal & Niagra Falls (my office was in the "South")& the president's wife got me to read some Canadian style books. They were good. (with or without the grammar differences)
I am going to add you to my list of authors now & go check out your book! Thanks for doing this!

Thanks for dropping by.

Thanks for dropping by. TGIF is always the best day of the week. I'll be sitting outside on the patio having a cool drink and hoping everyone else is getting a chance to relax.

Pat lives in Victoria, BC, which is on the west coast of Canada. She's married and has one grown son who is now her web master and tech guru. And a good thing that is since she's a tech clutz.
I love reading and have loved making up stories since before I can remember. I took journalism courses in college and had short stories and articles published in magazines and newspapers. Currently I have an e-book published through Kindle and have another one coming out called Grady's Pic.
Pat writes light, contemporary romance. In Better Than Chocolate the characters are fun. Elena is an artist who's come to Chemainus to create a new life for herself. When Brad shows up and tells her she'll be out of business in six months unless she makes some changes she's anything but happy. Sparks fly and it's hard to believe they'll ever reach happily ever after. To do so they'll have to learn to trust each other and give up some things that seemed really important to them.
They'll have to realize that what they thought they wanted isn't as important as a chance at love and to live the life they really want. They'll travel up and down the island doing everything from ziplining across a river to setting up an art gallery/coffee shop in the process. And you'll meet family members who bring the D to dysfunction at times but through it all prove love really is what matters.
She is a member of the Vancouver Island chapter of RWA, and work at the local hospital. In the past I've worked in the restaurant and retail industries as well as doing home day care. Please drop by my web site at www.patamsden.com to check out my blog or read previously published short stories.
