Patricia A. Saunders was born and raised in Connecticut before relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area nearly twenty years ago. She received her master’s in management from the University of Phoenix in 2011. After the passing of her mother, who had Alzheimer’s, Patricia decided that all the words that she kept to herself were to be released. She has released her first self-published book, Through the Fire (March 2012), which covered situations, circumstances, and life lessons that have influenced her over her lifetime.
The book was featured on a Coast to Coast Book Tour at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, Tucson Book Festival, Miami International Festival of Books, and AARP Life@50+ Spring Convention. Her work has been featured on In the Company of Poet, Women Owned Business Club Magazine, and Alysha Live! Radio Show, and Coach Deb Bailey Secret of Success Talk Radio. She performs locally at spoken word events and Capital Jazz SuperCruise Open Mic with Grammy Award Winner Eric Roberson.
Patricia A. Saunders is a monthly guest blogger contributor to AuthorHouse Authors’ Digest Blog. She also writes her own blog, Blessed & Curvy. On a mission to complete a book a year, with AuthorHouse Publishing, she has released her second book, Loving Me (2013), and third, Let It Rain (2014), which is also self-published and covers various topics from love, grief, self-image, self-esteem, bullying, and discovery of self-love. In her spare time, Patricia enjoys writing poetry, traveling, spending time with family, and wine tasting.
