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.

Ideas Won’t Hang Around Forever? In 2015, Elizabeth Gilbert’s still best-selling book, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear, was published. I read it then, and I’m getting ready to read it again this winter. The book gave me a lot to think about, but there’s one point Gilbert made that has come to pass in …Read More

Exiting the Doldrums

December 6, 2018 By: Patricia

No, I haven’t been to the Equator I’ve been lost in those other doldrums–the kind characterized by inactivity and slothfulness. I don’t feel depressed, just plain old-fashioned lazy. I’ve read a lot of books though. And I have applied my critique group’s suggestions to my work-in-process. But have I finished the big revision yet? Nope. …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.
