Hilda Osborne
    Author's Bio

         Hilda Osborne was born Hilda Jean Patterson on September 25, 1951, in Nashville, Tennessee.  She grew up in Nashville, except for a few years when her family lived in Kingston Springs, a small rural community just outside Nashville.  She graduated from Hume-Fogg Technical (now Hume-Fogg Academic) High School in 1970.  She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Organizational Management from Tusculum College in 1994, and a Master's Degree in Adult Education in 2008.

    Ms. Osborne plays many roles in life.  She is a wife, mother, grandmother, and a grandparent-turned-parent-again.  She works full-time at her "day job" and squeezes in time for writing.  She is an active member of her church, and she attends ballgames and school events when her grandchildren are involved.  She enjoys tending to her flower beds and indulges in her hobby of photography, using digital, 35mm, and video cameras.  

    She has several published works, including:
