PATRICIA GOODWIN
Patricia Goodwin was born in the South of England but has spent most of her adult life in various parts of the North, mainly in Yorkshire. She started writing for pleasure, after retiring from a long and varied career in nursing, teaching, running her own hotel and latterly nursing home.
Nine years ago she moved to the Scottish Borders to be closer to family. Here she joined the Borders Writers Forum and Kelso Writers.
She writes stories for young children, adult fiction and memoirs. Autumn in August is her first novel.
Patricia's new story for young readers tells the tale of Porky and Trotty, two runaway pigs.
The Adventures of Porky and Trotty
This story was inspired by the real escape of two pigs dubbed the Tamworth two.
It tells of how Sally’s two favourite pigs, Porky and Trotty, managed to escape from the farm and of their adventures in the wild. They meet many animals, most are friendly but some are not very pleasant. The pigs eventually get homesick but do they go home?
