About the Author

Patricia Crocker Moss grew up in rural South Central Mississippi, where her life was pretty much the norm for a child of a country preacher. She attended local elementary and high schools graduating from Sand Hill High School, Richton, Mississippi, in 1967. She studied business at a local community college, then began a thirty-two-plus-year career in the business world culminating in a stint as the chairman and CEO of a nationally recognized manufacturing company. Her lifelong love of books began at an early age when her mother introduced her to the bookmobile, which routinely visited their remote location. She voraciously read all Nancy Drew mysteries, which were among her bookmobile favorites. Other works by Moss include Dillie's Encounter with The Bucket Man, Dillie’s Summer with Aunt Juliette, Dillie and the Baby Deer, Dillie’s Ride to the Sea, and Dillie and the Dragonfly. Moss has two sons and daughters-in-law, Chris and Christie and Zachary and Ashley Moss, and two grandchildren, Patrick Brodie and Emalee Grace Moss. She currently resides in Laurel, Mississippi.
