Patricia Beiter lives in Lakeland Florida with her husband Robert. Formerly a long-distance runner, Patricia now enjoys walking or riding her bike every day. In 2003, after moving to Florida, she decided to return to college and completed her degree in elementary education from Warner University. As a teacher and tutor, Patricia instilled a love for reading and creative writing in young minds.

Her journey in writing began at a young age with plays performed in backyards. Patricia's passion for writing is evident in her book, "Lilly of Penn Yan," where all song lyrics were penned by her, using her guitar to write the tune. Patricia kept a Kosher home for many years until she met her Messiah, Yeshua. In researching her family's heritage and their name, Picone, she found many are living in Jerusalem. Additionally, the Lord has given Patricia a ministry. It is called Lydia. On Saturday mornings, she texts women individually, a scripture with a short story to encourage the women.
