This year I've been reflecting upon and writing about my life as a neurodiverse author. Here's one of the most personal essays I've ever written about being on the spectrum. In addition, an updated version of my free booklet "Tips and Strategies for Neurodiverse Writers" is available.

Whalesong - PSYCHOPOMP.COM
The whalesong hits when sheโs on the highway. Up until that point, Hailey had just been driving, foot tensed on the pedal, hoping velocity would turn into an answer for a question that she didnโt know...
An eligibility post for 2025! I was lucky enough to have five things published this year. ๐งต
- I would love you to consider Whalesong, published by the lovely skeletons at @thedeadlands.com. This one means a lot to me, and I hope it might to you as well.

As Nebula nominations are opening up, I would like to offer my novelette, "Phantom View," which is free-to-read at Reactor! It's a story of disabilities and the supernatural that I've always wanted to write.

A bright red book cover. The words "Pardon Me For Moonwalking" and "Patricia Q. Bidar" run down the left side and bottom of the cover. There is a black & white image of old-style headphones near the bottom.
Book mail! Patricia's stories are always so moving - can't wait to dig in to this collection!
