ⓘ About Patty Yumi Cottrell

Patty Yumi Cottrell is an Asian American author that writes contemporary fiction. The author initially started her career working with stories that have been compared to fables. However, it wasn’t until she produced ‘Sorry to Disrupt the Peace’, a grounded tale about suicide and grief, that she truly found her stride. +Biography Patty Yumi Cottrell was born in Korea in 1981. She was adopted by a couple from the American Midwest. The same couple decided to bring two Korean boys into the family, boys that were not related but who Patty came to regard as her brothers. One of the most significant moments in the author’s life was the suicide of one of her brothers. Yumi doesn’t like to talk about the incident. In fact, the author is very private.
