Irette Y. Patterson is a writer from Georgia where she likes to set most of her stories. Her short fiction has been published in Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, Strange Horizons, FIYAH, and Translunar Travelers Lounge.
When not writing, you can typically find her digging in her backyard planting yet another variety of marigolds, or in the kitchen perfecting her chocolate chip cookie recipe. Such activities are the effects of being trained as a research scientist who no longer works in that field. She now runs experiments at home rather than at a laboratory.
Irette is an alumna of VONA/Voices and Hurston/Wright Writers Workshop.
