About the Author, Patti Berg

USA Today bestselling author Patti Berg began penning stories while in elementary school, when she wrote the script for a puppet show that she and her friends put on in the children's ward at a local hospital. Thirty years later, one of her dreams came true when the first of her many warm and lighthearted novels appeared in bookstores.

Scared of dogs until the age of fifty, Patti now goes out of her way to pet every dog she gets close to and would happily bring home all the puppies in the pound if her less impulsive husband would only let her. He's had less success keeping her from saying yes when family, friends and others ask her to volunteer. Give her a cause, and she's there to help.

Patti lives in southwestern Idaho with her husband of thirty-five years and a huggable Bernese mountain dog named Barkley. To learn more about Patti or to contact her, visit her website at www.pattiberg.com
