Lena M Pate

Born in Michigan but settled in Texas, I'm married to a wonderful and supportive husband of nearly forty years.  We have two grown children, three spectacular grandchildren, and two adopted dogs and a cat who rule the household.  I have worked as a Medical Technologist and an Allied Health Instructor for over thirty years.  My passions include reading, writing, painting and gardening.  I coauthored, a short story To Capture a Nightingale, which was part of the anthology for the book Whitechapel 13.  Another short story, entitled Private Oasis, was featured in the 1st edition 2010 of U magazine.  I was published in the TxSSAMT The New Texan Journal of Medical Technology on Pediatric Phlebotomy.  My blog, lenasstoryandpoetrycorner.blogspot.com, has been spotlighting my short stories and poetry since 2008.  I am active on several writing sites, as well as, social media including Twitter, Goodreads, Facebook and My Space.

Dip Publishing recently released my new book Following the Scent on Amazon.com
