Key to my Life is in my Name

Whose idea was it to name me Patricia Amble? Couldn't my author Nicole Young have come up with something better than basic, old-fashioned Patricia? But the key to my life is in my shortened name, Tish. When said together with my last name, Amble - which appropriately means to wander - you get 'TishAmble.' And that perfectly describes my life. It's a shamble. Only my grandmother could have come up with such a cleverly disguised cut-down of her seemingly jinxed granddaughter.

And only my mother could have turned that curse into a loving endearment. Now, Tish is a 'by permission only' nickname that I offer solely to those who've earned the right.

Luckily, that includes you, my faithful readers.

The countdown for Book Two in the Patricia Amble Mystery Series is on. Watch for it April 1, 2008.
