About the Author

Patricia Hysell lives in South Carolina. She began writing these historical pieces for Really Good Quote long ago and is now seeking publication for expanded versions of the essays.

Her flash fiction work is included in two anthologies put out with the help of writers from My Writers Circle. She has an even dozen stories in Station Shorts and one story included in A Writer’s Christmas.

Patricia writes also at her personal blog, Imperfect Reason. She took up CrossFit in 2012 and has rambled on about fitness and healthy living choices to an annoying degree.

She lives with her husband. She is a retired nurse who then went back to school to learn about computers. She taught computer applications to high school students and then became the Technology Specialist at a grade school serving students from Kindergarten to grade 8. She has worked in administrative positions for over five years.

She now writes full time or as full time as writers tend to write. She continues to craft Little Bits of History telling a story for each day of the year. She is interested in writing speculative/fantasy fiction. She writes horrible poetry.

She adores her family and delights in her grandchildren, who are all just the cutest little kids on the entire planet. She will defend this position with great vigor if challenged. The only children who even come close are her great- nieces and nephews – all of whom are also adorable.
