Patty worked with her husband, Kenneth G. Old, for seven years shaping the ongoing tale of the Wizard's battle with the Little People. Ken first told the stories to children of missionaries in Pakistan. When he retired, he began writing them down. After Ken died in 2007, Patty worked to get all twelve stories published. She wants children everywhere to enjoy Ken's overactive imagination. As a result of her marriage to Roy, she is now Patty Old West.
