The daughter of a WWII Navy vet who survived Pearl Harbor, Patty Wiseman was raised in Washington State. She attended The Wesleyan College in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, then moved to Northeast Texas where she has resided for over 30 years. Hobbies include bowling, traveling, attending Texas Rangers Baseball games, and gardening. Patty currently lives in Woodlawn, Texas, with her husband, Ron, and crème lab, Cutter.
Retired in December 2010 from her 24-year career at Ernie Marshall Investments, she is now a full-time writer. In 2007, Patty entered the National Novel Writing Month competition to write a novel in 30 days and won. She entered again in 2011 and again came out a winner! She currently serves as secretary of the East Texas Writers Association and is a member of the Northeast Texas Writer’s Organization. Patty is the creator of the Velvet Shoe Collection of romantic mysteries, the first book being An Unlikely Arrangement, and the second An Unlikely Beginning.
An Unlikely Arrangement
Young and rebellious, Ruth Squire defied her parents to live the high life of young people in 1929 Detroit. Handsome and responsible, Peter Kirby worked diligently to make his family's life easier. Rich and powerful, Eric Horton held the fates of many families in his hands. These three lives intertwine through the differing worlds of high society, middle-class life, and organized crime, culminating in an engagement, a kidnapping, a misunderstanding...and a murder.
