Patricia Lieb
Patricia, currently a
feature writer for The Suncoast News, covered the
City of Dunedin
Florida for eight years. City officials in
the quaint town, located between
Tarpon Springs and Clearwater Beach on the Gulf of Mexico,
presented
Patricia with awards on two occassions, one for reliable
reporting,1994,
the other for government reporting 1991-99. A talented photographer, Pat also illustrates her own
feature stories
and is often seen at Dunedin's downtown "streetscape"
and beaches, camera in hand, snapping photographs to
accompany her
articles. As time permits, she buries herself in the horror
of true
crime and writes honest-to-goodness non-fiction stories that
are
published nationwide in popular detective magazines.
Before joining The Suncoast News, Pat worked for
several other newspapers,
including The Daily Sun Journal in Brooksville,
Florida, where she
covered crime, courts and city government. She was a feature
writer
for the Daily Journal in Kankakee, Illinois for three
years prior
to moving to Florida in 1987 and was one of the first
journalists
to join the staff at the Bourbonnais Herald in
Bourbonnais, Illinois
when it began publication in 1976. In the early 1980s Pat was the co-editor/co-publisher of the
literary
magazine Pteranodon and the Pteranodon
chapbook series, which she
produced with Carol Schott Martino. In 1975 she was an
editor with
the Kankakee Area Writers' Group, in Kankakee, Illinois, to
compile
American Thoughts, a book of more than 200 pages
compiled
by the group in celebration of this country's 1976 bicentennial
year.
