What started as a single drawing for a Valentine's Day card,
has slowly, but oh so surely, become Jefferson’s debut book.
About the Book:
Whether it's a question from a child to a parent or an adult
to their significant other, the question “How long will you love me?” probably
gets asked more than you think...even if it just stays in your head and you are
the only one who hears it. Patti Brassard Jefferson's creative first book starts
with the question and each page gives a warm, rhythmic reassurance --- "I
promise I will love you 'til..." It's the perfect book to read to someone to let
them know your love is endless.
So, just how long WILL I love you? The answer is perfectly
clear in this book!
EXCERPT:
"I promise I will love you
'til the oceans turn to
sand
and all the whales and
dolphins
are laying out to
tan."

About the Author:
Patti Brassard Jefferson lives under a palm tree in sunny Florida
with her husband, Ken and their 2 rescued mutts. How Long Will You Love Me is
the first children's book that PBJ has written and illustrated. She began
drawing when she was a little girl and forgot to stop when she grew up. She
thinks doodling is a lost art and has a special place in her heart for the smell
of a new box of crayons.
More details:
Patti Brassard was born in upstate NY in 1962 but moved with her
military family to Virginia when she was 11 years old. She always loved art in
school but never gave a thought to making it a career until she started college
in 1980. With no idea where a Fine Arts degree would take her, she instead
studied Media Arts Advertising and after graduation, started her own graphic
design company so that she could continue to be a work-at-home mother to her
daughter Nikki.
It was while Nikki was learning to read that Patti mocked up
her first book aimed at teaching pre-readers the alphabet. She only shared it
with her daughter and her kindergarten class. It was very well received but
Patti never pursued the project any further.
Over the following years Patti opened a paint-it-yourself
pottery studio and got back to being involved in more artistic endeavors. In
2010, she remarried and added Jefferson to her name: Patti Brassard Jefferson.
They moved to the Florida Keys with their two rescued dogs, Marley & Mollie,
and she opened an art gallery.
While in Florida, she decided to dust off unfinished
children's book project that she had put on the shelf. It had started as a
Valentines card years before and had morphed into the beginning of a book. Over
the next 2 years, Patti worked on the illustrations and adding more pages. It
was finished in October 2012 but she had no idea what the next step was. A
friend and fellow author had just self-published a novel so Patti did some
research. She decided to start a Kick
Starter campaign to raise the funds necessary to self-publish her book.
The campaign launched in April of 2013 and funded 30 days later. She signed with
Halo Publishing International and the book was released in June!
