I had never worked with a publisher and did not know what to expect when I engaged Patricia Hamilton to help me with my first book. We were off to a great start as she encouraged me to share in detail what I hoped to accomplish. She allowed me time to browse through her bookshelf for ideas, and every question posed throughout the process was responded to in an expeditious manner. She was patient with my myriad of changes and enthusiastic when I wanted to include colored photographs. The book went to press and I spoke with her about writing another book. She expressed interest and pressed me to begin by putting my thoughts down as they come to mind. Patricia inspired me in many ways and I am grateful to her for the process and experience. 2013 Victoria L. Carns
