Multi-award winning author Patricia Reding leads a double life. By day, she practices law. By night, she reads, reviews a wide variety of works, and writes fantasy. She lives on an island on the Mississippi with her husband and youngest daughter (her son and oldest daughter having already flown the nest), and Flynn Rider (an English Cream Golden Retriever). From there, she seeks to create a world in which she can be in two places at once. She took up writing The Oathtaker Series as a challenge, and re-discovered along the way, the joy of storytelling.
