Patricia Skipper's life journey began on a California Marine Corps base. After fighting in World War 11 and Korea, her father retired in South Carolina. Patricia was only 9 years old in 1961 when she saw her first "Colored Only" bathroom and water fountain signs in downtown Charleston at the Sears Roebuck. That sign scarred Patricia because on Marine Corps bases everyone ate at the same clubs, swam in the same pools and used the same bathrooms. That sign would have a major influence on her writing career as Patricia obtained a master degree in Broadcast Journalism. She reported internationally for the Charleston Evening Post from Leningrad and Moscow. Playing a key role, she supported a a brand new "Mothers Against Drunk Driving" and helped them get PSA (public service announcements) on every television station in the country. Earning accolades for her television commercial writing, Patricia has won numerous Addy Awards. Her latest book, "Deceptive Calm," delves into Vanessa's compelling story, a woman navigating complex racial situations. Vanessa changes her identity by using the birth certificate of a dead white baby and her charmed life abruptly ends with the birth of her first born who is diagnosed with Sickle Cell disease. Enjoy the climax of an extraordinary tale of passion and betrayal. Deceptive Calm now on Amazon.
