Patricia Grace King grew up in North Carolina’s Appalachian foothills, the granddaughter of Mennonite preachers on both sides of the family. After moving to Spain at nineteen, she became addicted to travel and has since lived in various parts of Central America, as well as in Atlanta, Chicago, and Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Guatemala, where Patricia lived for three years—as an accompanier of refugees with Witness for Peace during the civil war, and later as a language school director—is the setting for much of her writing. Patricia’s first book, Day of All Saints, won the 2017 Miami University Novella Prize. Her stories have been published by Ploughshares, The Gettysburg Review, Narrative Magazine, The Florida Review, and other journals. She holds an MFA from Warren Wilson College’s Program for Writers and a Ph.D. from Emory University, where she was a Dean’s Teaching Fellow. She was the 2013-2014 Carol Houck Smith Fellow at the Wisconsin Institute for Creative Writing and has been awarded additional fellowships and grants from the Vermont Studio Center, the Barbara Deming Memorial Fund, and the Illinois Arts Council. Patricia lives with her husband, David Janzen, in Durham, England, where she is completing a novel as well as a story collection and has become a big fan of mushy peas. Her website is patriciagraceking.com.
