Patti Macintyre will be signing copies of 'The Art of Wishful Thinking' at Paper Plus Palmerston North on Friday 18th December from 12:00pm - 1:00pm. The Art of Wishful Thinking is an allegorical fable in verse, depicting the human mind's journey to self-discovery. Patti Macintyre is a New Zealander, where she lives on the Kapiti Coast. After a nursing career she moved into natural health, running her own business, before retraining as a teacher. Her artistic side saw her dabble in pottery and painting, before turning to her new main love, writing. The Art of Wishful Thinking is her first published work.
