PATIENCE GRIFFIN grew up in a small Midwest town, population 600, where everyone affectionately mucked around in everyone else’s business. With a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and a M.S. in Nuclear Engineering, she’s a nerdy girl to the core, but loves to quilt and read books which make her laugh. Her Kilts & Quilts series is published by NAL/Penguin. She lives in Texas with her family, a crazy Sheltie, a Bishon-Poo and a bulimic stray cat. You can find her on the web at www.patiencegriffin.com
