About The Site
FaithHopeandFiction started as a seed of an idea, a place where I could share my stories, poems, and essays with those of other like-minded writers. From this seed, a vibrant online community continues to grow.
I have written stories all my life. As a child, I told myself stories for entertainment, to pass the time, and for comfort. Stories were my way of interpreting and understanding the world around me and to discover the deeper meaning and lessons hidden in even the most ordinary circumstances and relationships. Here’s what FaithHopeandFiction means to me:
Faith: Writing is a leap of faith, in God and in myself
Hope: Envisioning what is possible and exploring what is seemingly impossible
Fiction: Using the imaginary to explore reality and truth
Writing has been my professional life, too, with more than 15 years as a journalist, including as a correspondent for Reuters America. Eight years ago I became a “writer for hire,” and since then have been the ghostwriter of more than a dozen books.
I am also the author of the book, Remembering Mother, Finding Myself: A Journey of Love and Self-Acceptance (written under the name Patricia Commins). Currently, I am at work on a novel. I live in suburban Chicago with my husband and my son.
