Pat Brown doesn't remember a time she didn't want to write. It runs in the family you might say-great uncle John Defoe was the renowned editor-in-chief of the Winnipeg Free Press pre WWII. On a personal level, over the years she has worked a variety of jobs from house keeper, horse groom, aquarium manager, hospital porter, census taker, movie extra, and for nearly 10 years she worked in the IT field. Her final position was as a Network Engineer for a law firm in Bermuda.
