She fell in love with the English language while washing dishes at McDonald’s and learned enough vocabulary to pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).

Patricia writes from El Paso, Texas, where she lives with her husband and two children.
A Season to Dance
Ana Brassfield has her path to the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House all figured out until her first love, renowned German dancer Claus Gert, returns to Georgia to win her back. Despite a promising start towards her ballet career and pending marriage to landscape architect, Peter Engberg, Ana wonders if her dreams of dancing at the Met are as impossible as her previous romantic relationship with Claus.
Then, an on-stage kiss between Ana and Claus changes everything.
Convinced the kiss is more than a one-time mistake, Peter breaks off their engagement. With an old dog crippled by arthritis and dreams deferred but not left behind, Ana moves to Germany to be with Claus. But the ghost of his late wife, Ana’s own feelings for Peter, and the pressure of earning a spot in a large ballet company are a high price for a shot at success. Ana seems on the verge of having everything she ever dreamed of, but will it be enough?

Sounds intriguing, and I love the cover. Best wishes for success with your novel!
Hi Debra! Great to see you here. Thank you for the kind words, and yes – Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas rocked that cover! I’m so pleased 🙂
Love the cover and the story sound delightful would love to have a chance to win this to read. Thanks for the opportunity.
Yay! I hope you win 🙂 This was not my vision for the cover, and I wasn’t comfortable with the publisher’s vision. Then we came up with the bridal idea together. They found the image, and the rest is history. I love it. It’s better than all I’d imagined and perfect for the story on so many levels. Hope to see you here next week 🙂
Congratulations to Patricia on the release of A Season to Dance. Sounds like a fabulous story to read with the lovely cover. I look forward to the interview on 5/12.
Congratulations and thank you for giving us this opportunity to win
This sounds like a really good one. Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy.
I was in ballet for about 25 years, this looks wonderful! Miss my dancing days!
