We're Wim Coleman (left) and Pat Perrin (right) and we do most of our work in collaboration. We met and married in Los Angeles and have lived in other U.S. cities — including Portland, Oregon, Des Moines, Iowa, and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Now we spend much of our time in the beautiful historic town of San Miguel de Allende, Gto., Mexico, with our adopted Mexican daughter (scroll down to see her). We've both been full-time writers for well over a decade.

Wim grew up in Iowa. He is a playwright whose works have won national awards and have been presented in New York and Los Angeles. He has worked in theater as an actor, director, scene shop foreman, and set designer — and has also been an editor, pizza cook, waiter, and bartender. Wim has degrees from Drake University in Theater, Literature, and Education.wim and books

 

 

 

 

 


  

Pat with computer and cat
Pat is originally from Virginia, where she became an art teacher and award-winning visual artist. She spent some years on a Shenandoah Valley farm, raising and training horses, growing food, cooking on a woodstove, and learning about the land, all with the help of other artists and several energetic teenagers. Pat has degrees in English (Duke), Liberal Studies (Hollins), and Art Theory and Criticism (U.Ga.) Here, she's building the website you're now visiting.
