Her insights and observations of things in our daily lives point us toward a better understanding of ourselves. We seek after many things, but understanding allows us to reach them all. The pictures that she paints with her words are special. We simply get to enjoy her masterpiece”. -Charles Houston Pollard Author/Life Lessons Book Series "Uplifting and inspirational verses... Patricia Lindsay demonstrates a real knack for painting vivid pictures, such as in "Georgetown Lady 1883…" wonderful turning of phrases as in the poems "Lionheart…" and "My Father's Shirts, My Mother's Skirts."

About the Book
It Comes Down To Wanting Something was written when my husband and I lived in Manlius, New York. Lindsay went to work for Philips Electronics as a senior RF engineer. The company had two major problems, which Lindsay found very difficult to accept: Ponderous executive meetings at the drop of a hat and computer mania. Everything had to be entered into the computer and hand calculations were not acceptable.
Each morning, when he left for work, I went pounding into the computer room, pulled up a blank “Word” page and started writing at a rapid fire pace. I never stopped! It took me a year to write this book and it was something “treasured” I had always wanted! A journey I had always planned to take.
At the end of the year my husband was a computer savvy engineer and I had a copyright, on this book in 1994. I hope you enjoy my heart; I’ve left it on every page for you! Each and every one of you! Reclaim your spirit! Pick up your unfinished dreams and never quit!
About the Author
Patricia Lindsay was born in Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania on March 1, 1946, to James J. Leahy and Eleanor M. Leahy, who moved shortly after her birth to their favorite place on the planet Earth, Avalon, New Jersey. Lindsay was a good student and exhibited talent in art, music and business. She would be the first to tell you she cringed at Algebra and suffered through auto mechanics. Pat was a true artist preferring to swim, surf and basically water ski though life with a smile. (She still swims and smiles!)
Lindsay was a staff writer and recording artist for Jamie Records and Publishing Co., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, formerly a member of “BMI”, (Broadcast Music Inc.) and has owned and sold part of a small business prior to marriage. Pat has just published this book, her second book, Desert Queen, a love story in tribute to her beloved husband James. Desert Queen is written as a collection of poems and essays in which she chronicles her feelings and experiences upon becoming a widow. Her third book, entitled “Dwellers on two planes”, is a non-fictional work of metaphysical, uplifting, and spiritual intent. Lindsay expects to publish this soon. Lindsay married a brilliant engineer, James E. Lindsay, living with him in New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Georgia and most recently, Tallassee, Alabama where she currently resides with her lovable Airedale Bitzi on five beautiful acres of fine Alabama soil.
