Patricia Haley, national bestselling author of Nobody's Perfect, Blind Faith, Baby Blues, and No Regrets is a trailblazer in the mainstream faith-based fiction genre. She self-published her debut novel, Nobody's Perfect, in 1998 and immediately sold nearly 20,000 copies in an industry where selling 5,000 copies is highly regarded. Her faith-based novel was the first of its kind to repeatedly make numerous national best sellers list, including #1 on the Essence (African-American) bestselling list.

Originally from Rockford , IL , Patricia now lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, Jeffrey. With an engineering degree from Stanford Univ. and an M.B.A. in marketing and finance from the Univ. of Chicago , readers are often surprised to hear that Patricia is writing faith-based fiction, given her technical and business background.

When asked how she got into writing, her response is, "I wasn't big on writing classes in college, because I never intended to be a writer. It just happened. One day I was led to write what I wanted to read - clean fiction, set in modern times, addressing real issues, and filled with a spiritual twist that uplifts the Lord. The writing came so easily that I wondered if it could be any good? Because everything flowed so well, I knew that my writing was anointed of God. So I named my self-publishing company, Anointed Vision in 1997."

Her literary mission is to glorify God while creating 'clean' contemporary fiction that provides readers with a message of hope and an unwavering display of His love .

Patricia's other published titles are Still Waters (2005), Blind Faith (2003), No Regrets (2002), and a short story based on Sarah and Abraham called Baby Blues. Nobody's Perfect (1998) is currently out of print, but she plans to have a revised edition re-released in the future as well as the sequel.

Beyond her literary endeavors, she is a born-again believer in Christ Jesus and has a great love for the Lord, her beloved husband, family, and membership in Delta Sigma Theta Public Service Sorority, Inc., where she has served as Chaplain in the Valley Forge Alumnae Chapter as well as a past committee chairperson. Patricia spends her remaining time working in Corporate America as a project manager on systems, marketing, and finance programs, volunteering as an IRS tax return preparer, heading a financial mentoring program with her husband, Jeffrey, and actively participating in the gospel choir, stewardship programs, budgeting, financial counseling, and building development committee at New Covenant Church (Trooper/ Trappe, PA).

As she continues to work in various venues, her desire is that God will get the glory in all aspects of her life. Look for future works from this voice on the literary scene.
