Lifelong inhabitant of Western Massachusetts, graduate of Holyoke Community College, soon to be graduate of UMASS Isenberg School of Management and licensed nurse, M.L. Patterson prefers to consider writing a ‘mental cathartic’ where the constraints of the world can be tuned out and allow the nuances of creativity to run free. A childhood love of reading was forged by both mother, grandmother and a perpetual stream of shared books. Hobbies include home DIY, camping, skiing and anything creative.
