Live Chat Tomorrow w. Jamie Patterson of Lost Edens

Jamie Patterson, author of Lost Edens

Last week our bloggers opened their hearts as they  discussed Lost Edens by Jamie Patterson. Though her ex-husband was not physically violent against her (based on what we read in her memoir), his emotional and psychological abuse was just as, if not more, harmful.  Jamie’s experience resonated with some readers, while others couldn’t understand how her ex-husband had such a grasp on her.

Tomorrow, you’ll have a chance to chat live with Jamie on the From Left to Write Facebook page. Make sure you go ahead and “Like” the page so you’re ready to meet and talk to Jamie directly on our Facebook wall tomorrow, November 2nd at 1PM Eastern.

Lost Edens by Jamie PattersonIf you haven’t read her book yet, you are more than welcome to join us. You can get a glimpse at the themes in her book by visiting our bloggers’ posts inspired by Lost Edens. Here’s some more info about Jamie:

Jamie Patterson is a  writer, teacher, runner, and dog owner who has been writing since she was 9-years-old as the “kids corner” reporter for the Tangletown News in Minneapolis. She is now an academic editor and lives in Minneapolis with her dog, Huey. For Halloween this year, Huey wore a bull costume with a cowboy strapped to his back.

Again, our live chat with author Jamie Patterson is Wednesday (tomorrow), November 2 at 1PM Eastern on our From Left to Write Facebook page. Visit the Lost Edens Facebook page before you head over to the chat!

See you there!

Feel free to leave questions for Jamie in the comments below, especially if you’re unable to make our chat.

Monica Holloway joins us today on From Left to Write for an interview about her book Cowboy & Wills and about her life as a writer. Read the inspired posts by the From Left to Write bloggers about Cowboy & Wills and join the discussion.

Monica will also be on hand today, Thursday September 2nd at 1pm PST for an online Livestream chat here on From Left to Write. Please join us!

Q: Where is your favorite place to write?

Oddly enough, I write in my Jeep.  I think sitting outside Wills’s preschool and then elementary school or in waiting rooms at various therapies set me up for writing on the go.  Now when I sit down at my desk, my brain says, “Hey, you’re writing –better make it good.”  And then, I have no ideas.  If I’m in my car, I’m not really “working,” I’m just hanging out.  And, surprisingly, I get a ton of work done.  I wrote my first book entirely in my car.
