Patty
Renfro-Wonderly enjoyed twenty-five years teaching fifth-grade gifted students
before she retired. During her tenure, she was a mentor, curriculum writer, and
reviewer, conducted numerous in-services and training, and organized special
events for the school district.
She
has written several one-act plays produced for local theater in Bakersfield,
California. Her play “So Damned Heavenly Bound” was produced in Hollywood at
The Elephant Theater in 2008. She is a founding member of “The Random Writers
Workshop”, taught writing workshops and participated in critique groups while
she learned the craft of creative writing.
When
not working on her stories at her small Ikea desk in her home library, she
enjoys reading, painting, and hiking the easy trails of the Pacific Northwest
with her husband Peter and two small terriers, Tory and Zoey. They sometimes
take their tortoiseshell cat, Fiona, with them on hikes in her specially designed
backpack.
Patty
Renfro-Wonderly has become increasingly politically active in recent years and
their move to Vancouver, Washington allows her to attend activities easily. She
loves to go to the latest movies, read the latest books and is active
volunteering with the local theater as props manager. She is a Gryffindor, a
Doctor WHO fan, and loves to cosplay when attending Rose City Comic-Con.
