Goodreads giveaway for advance review copies of In Defense of Delia

August 15, 2022 By: Patricia

As promised, I’m giving away 15 advance review copies of my new frontier fiction. In Defense of Delia is set in 1838, four years after the events of Wishing Caswell Dead. Technically, it’s not a western because the setting (central Illinois) is east of the Mississippi, but this historical novel feels like a western to me.

I had knee replacement surgery on November 11th, 2019, and knew there were plenty of tasks I’d have to give up for two or three months. Blogging turned out to be the first activity to happily sit on the sidelines. The blog waited patiently for my return. As did the gym at the Senior Center. …Read More

Meet Patricia

I read, I write, I blog, and sometimes I do the laundry and cook. My 2014 novel, Dead Wrong, was a finalist in the thriller category of the 2015 Colorado Book Awards. Wishing Caswell Dead (Five Star/Cengage, December 20, 2017) is a historical mystery set in 1830s Illinois in the fictitious Village of Sangamon. The novel was a finalist for the 2018 Colorado Book Awards for General Fiction. My most recent release, In Defense of Delia (Five Star/Cengage, November 2022), is available in hardcover and will soon be available in ebook and trade paperback. Read More…
