Patricia C. Hastings retired from a career in psychotherapy to pursue her passion for writing. She has been published in the Santa Fe Literary Review. In 2018 she won first place in the Santa Fe New Mexican’s Pasatiempo annual fiction contest. She’s lived on both the East and West Coasts. For the last thirty years, she’s happily made her home in sunny Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she plays a ridiculous amount of pickleball.
