She has written many articles, short stories, edited university curriculum and developed a career of seminar presentations. As an inspirational and motivational speaker, she has contributed to the development of successful men and women for many years.
She makes her home in Scottsdale, Arizona, maintains an active writing and speaking life along with yoga and walks with her husband - and continues to develop the Scottsdale Society of Women Writers.
Patricia added her publishing consulting business in 2007 to her repertoire as a publishing consultant/authors partner - www.brooksgoldmannpublishing.com She helps potential authors through the maze of independent publishing with a jump start launch to their books by putting the team together to make independent publishing an exciting journey.
Patricia L. Brooks speaks on various topics relating to writing, publishing, critique groups, and marketing for the writing community. She has operated her seminar business since 1996.

The Journey from Grief to Gratitude workshop that supports Gifts of Sisterhood featuring Patricia's personal experience and expertise in dealing with grief. Her mission with this workshop is to enhance the spirit of the attendees experience. Satisfaction is always guaranteed.
Although Patricia has resided in Arizona for over 30 years, her heart remains in the Mackinac area of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, the setting for Gifts of Sisterhood and the area where she grew-up with her sisters. Their family home on Lake Michigan is owned by one of the sisters, so she can always go home and visit her late sister at her flower garden and fountain resting place just down the beach. www.brooksgoldmannpublishing.com
