Author Rick E Patton author website: https:/www.rickpatton.net
Katrina Patton and Rick Patton combine their creativity in a unique collaboration of father and daughter. Katrina spends her time away from writing as a special needs’ preschool teacher. She received her Maters degree in preschool education from CSU Los Angeles. She hopes to incorporate her writing skills into her profession by developing a series of stories to help children learn good coping skills. Rick retired in 2020 after working for 40 years as a controller for various companies. His wife Janet I also retired, so they spend a lot of time on the road traveling, but Rick still has not lost his love for writing. They live in the Rose Parade city of Pasadena, California.
With eight books completed and published on Amazon, they both have additional stories in the works for the future.
The book writing process in the Patton family is a family affair. Janet, soul mate extraordinaire, thoughtfully provides editing and proofing services to both Rick and Katrina. Fellow writer and daughter Katrina squeezes her own writing after her busy days in the classroom. Youngest daughter, Kirstin, has found a way to pack her busy lifestyle with the maximum possible activities. She is busy as a stay-at-home mom taking care of daughter Elliana. In her spare time, she acts as the family test audience. It takes real effort to coordinate the lives of four very busy adults.
The Joey Panda Story
This story was born many years before it was published during one of many story telling experiences with my oldest daughter and fellow author, Katrina. Those wonderful times not only fostered this story, but they also taught my daughter to love story telling. One of my greatest pleasures in life was publishing my first book with my daughter, ‘A Journey into Imagination’. Her creativity at the young age of fifteen continues to amaze me. I look forward to reading her second book as a true fan.
