Wendy Stuart will be hosting TriVersity Talk! this Wednesday at 7 PM ET with featured guest Patricia Grayhall.
TriVersity Talk! is a weekly web series with featured guests discussing their lives, activism and pressing issues in the LGBTQ Community. With TriVersity Talk!, the goal is to laugh and learn.
TriVersity Talk! Is part of TriVersity’s ICARE Initiative. ICARE stands for Increasing Community Awareness through Relevant Education. ICARE Programs are generously funded by The Greater Pike Community.
Patricia Grayhall is a medical doctor and author of the award-winning memoir, Making the Rounds; Defying Norms in Love and Medicine and a romance novel, Golden Years and Silver Linings, with wife and author Linda M. Ford. She has authored articles in Queer Forty, The Gay and Lesbian Review, The Millions, Lesbian Game Changers, The Seattle Lesbian, and Seattle Magazine, and has been interviewed on NPR.
After two and a half years of college at Arizona State University, Patricia attended the University of Utah Medical School. In Boston, she completed residencies in the specialties of internal medicine and occupational/environmental medicine, as well as an MPH at the Harvard School of Public Health. After brief stints in Washington DC and North Carolina, she settled in Seattle to practice for the rest of her 40-year medical career.
Though Patricia has authored many medical articles and book chapters, creative writing drew her interest upon retiring from medical practice. She took classes at Hugo House in Seattle, hired a writing coach, took a six-month memoir-writing class, and started a writer’s critique group. Making the Rounds was her debut memoir. Golden Years and Silver Linings is her first novel, written with her wife.
Her second novel, A Place for Us, will be published by She Writes Press in June 2025 and distributed by Simon and Schuster.
Currently, Patricia is working on her third novel, an environmental crime novel. All of her novels are inspired by real-life experiences, one of the advantages of being an older author.
Patricia lives with the love of her life on an island in the Pacific Northwest where she enjoys other people’s dogs and occasional sightings of orca, eagles, otters, and black bears.
