Visit Pat's personal site at www.freshstartpress.com. She adds a new essay to her blog every week. After teaching high school physics and mathematics, Pat joined the world of industry, specializing in writing ironclad manufacturing procedures - think Dove soap. Pat has always found it easier to write non-fiction than to invent a storyline. Following retirement and divorce, she took a Life Stories writing course and published an embellished memoir about her transition from the devastating end of her forty-one-year marriage to the beginning of new marital bliss. For family privacy, she published “Thanks for Leaving Me” under the pen name Emma Bruce in 2017. Having now firmly established that most of the chapter describing her first marriage is pure fiction, she publicly declares herself to be its author. Now, with "Through Her Opera Glasses," Pat has created an accompanying narrative to her mother's found letters, proving that she is just as skilled at inventing storylines as writing training manuals. Pat lives with her husband in Toronto. Her latest book landed in April, 2022 and is non-fiction. She and David Frenkel LL.B. have co-authored "My Divorce Journal: A Guided Path to Moving Forward." Drawing on her own experiences when surviving divorce and finding new love, Pat applied her training in psychology and counselling when developing this guidebook.
