About

Patricia Kochel

Patricia has always loved to write and paint and has done so for many years. She submitted her first story to a magazine when she was still in the fifth grade. Sad to say, it wasn’t published. She now has written one book, The Elephant in the Classroom, which is available through Amazon. Having been in recovery for several years, she has lead workshops on emotional sobriety, a way of living she strives to achieve every day of her life, and which she writes about in her blog. She took several art courses in college and continues to paint with direction from Diane Hanley, her art teacher. Many of her works are available to purchase under her shop.

Patricia lives in Ventura, California.
