BOOKS AUTHORED

Friends and colleagues sometimes say, “You should write a book. People need to hear your message.”  

However, writing your book is like painting a self-portrait. It’s one thing to be the subject, but another to be the artist.

That’s where a ghostwriter or co-author can make the difference.

What Do I Bring to the Table?

  • After one free consultation, I’ll let you know if we are a good match. It’s important to have a writer fully intrigued by your story.

  • I want to know more. When we talk, you’ll find yourself remembering details and other relevant stories buried deep in your memory.

  • I bring an investigative journalist background to the project—chasing the whys, connecting the dots, and adding context.


  • It’s always fun. Sometimes it’s award-winning.

Author of A Catalyst for Change

I hired Patty Jo because she has a background as an Award Winning Investigative Reporter. So, when I came to her with my basket full of assorted memories—she was able to sort it out. She asked me the tough questions—why did that happen What else did you try? How did that feel? Patty Jo was able to connect the dots and then write it in a way that makes sense to readers.
