Patti B. Ogden is represented by Pump Up Your Book Promotion, an innovative public relations agency specializing in online book promotion.
As an enthusiastic Sunday school teacher, there was only one thing Patti Ogden did not enjoy about the teaching experience; too often, her lessons would end with the children not grasping the concepts they were intended to learn. With a genuine heartfelt desire to reach children’s soul realm, she unleashed her God-given creativity and began to break down her lessons into simple terms -- added excitement and drama -- and suddenly she saw the "lights go on!" Soon the kids were asking questions and wanting to know more!
With a background in journalism and a sincere burden to help kids seek their own spiritual growth, she is now the author of Keoni’s Big Question and two other Christian children's books due to be released in 2009.
We interviewed Patti to find out more about her new book and her life as a published author.
Thank you for this interview, Patti. Can you tell us a little about yourself and how long you’ve been writing?
Well, first and foremost I am a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. I live in Oregon, Illinois with my husband Jeff. We live in a historical piece of Illinois, only three miles from the home of John Deere where he invented the plow. I love writing, reading, hiking, and working in landscaping and photography.
I have been writing ever since I was in high school after a creative writing course unleashed that desire to put my thoughts on paper.
