Write On! PatMarcello.com | A woman who has redesigned herself more times than Tyra Banks has redesigned her hair

Hey, how’s it going? I’m Pat Marcello and I’ve written 10 books for publishers like ABC-Clio, Lucent, and Andrews-McMeel. I haven’t been writing for magazines or writing books for years, but I do write every day. I am a writer. And I have writerly thoughts all the time — some twisted, some normal. And so, I’d like to share a little of each with you. Enjoy!

Where Did 21 Years Go, May I Ask?

by Pat Marcello | Sep 18, 2010 | Pat Life | 0 Comments

My daughter is 21 today. We made it! She's an adult. I really never thought I could have a kid that would survive to that age. You see after being married 16 years and having a pretty cool career in banking, I learned I was pregnant. Ack! How did that happen? I mean,...

Scrambled Eggs and Bacon

When my daughter was a little girl, she would get downright evil, if she wasn't fed on time. It was like she turned into another person, someone that I certainly didn't hatch, and it would amaze us no end because she was a really good, sweet kid. But it was amazing......

I Love My Kindle

by Pat Marcello | Sep 16, 2010 | Pat Life | 0 Comments

As you know, I'm a writer. I write a LOT every single day and I read a LOT, too. I love to read and it can be anything from a silly Terry Pratchett novel to the latest guru manifesto. It really doesn't matter to me because I know that every time I read something, I'm...

 Verified  The Tragic Secret of Cyrus Crowe: A Cassie Slade Mystery | Pre-teen fears
I read this book before giving it to my grand-daughter.  I was surprised that it held my interest until the end.  The book tells the tale of a pre-teen girl experiencing natural fears of unknown sounds and events when home alone. She becomes physically affected by her fears. Her best friend is understanding but thinks it's all imagination until she shares in some of the events and they find themselves in a true mystery.My grand-daughter then read the book and liked it very much. She said that after telling one of her friends about it, the friend asked to borrow it.  Her answer was, "Nope, I don't want to lose it. I think I'll read it again."

 Verified  Gloria Steinem: A Biography (Greenwood Biographies) | A life well told
Written in a clear and engaging style, Patricia Marcello's biography of Gloria Steinem is a fascinating account of perhaps America's most influential, and certainly the most eloquent, feminist. Steinem is widely known as the founder of Ms. magazine and a women's rights activist, but few readers know much about her personal life. Marcello gives us a powerful insight into this remarkable and intriguing woman by a careful examination of the family and forces that shaped her. Though written primarily for a young adult audience, Marcello doesn't talk down to them. A book for every student's library.  R. A. Deckert, Bellingham WA

 Verified  Jerry Garcia (Little Books) by Ariel (1999-05-03) | A nice quick read to put on your desk,
When I got this book in the mail I opened the package and knew why it was not real expensive.  It is about the size of a cassete tape box and is a well-made hardback with a dustcover.  It is a nice quick colorful tribute that celebrates Jerry Garcia.  Something that any Garcia fan would really like.  It is actually quite a bargain now that I think about it.
