Cooking for Ghosts is Patricia V. Davis's debut novel and the first book in "The Secret Spice Cafe Trilogy" series. For a number of years, she was a high school English teacher, teaching in Athens, Greece, and Queens, New York. She's an advocate for human rights, and all of her work encourages female dynamism. To that end, she also founded The Women's PowerStrategy(TM) Conference. Patricia lives with her poker player husband, and so divides her time between southern Nevada and Northern California.
