title: Ignorance is Not Bliss: A Primer for Authors - Protect Your Work and Yourself
author:  Patricia Reding 
description: Multi-award winning author Patricia Reding leads a double life. By day, she practices law. By night, she reads, reviews a wide variety of works, and writes. She lives on an island on the Mississippi with her husband and youngest daughter (her son and oldest daughter having already flown the nest), and Flynn Rider (an English Cream Golden Retriever). From there she seeks to create a world in which she can be in two places at once. Patricia has practiced intellectual property law for . . . decades. She assists clients with protecting their trademarks and copyrighted materials. With her 2017 publication of Ignorance is Not Bliss: A Primer for Authors  Protect Your Work and Yourself, she offers authors general information, prompting them to be more aware of potential issues and encouraging them to ask the right questions so as to better protect their works and themselves.
