Meet Patricia
Patricia McLinn is the USA Today bestselling author of mystery, romance, women’s fiction known for strong characters, touches of humor, connected stories, and settings that make you want to move in. She had 27 books in 25 years in traditional publishing. Having secured the rights back to a number of her earlier books, she began indie publishing in early 2010. That made her officially a hybrid author, since she also still had books under traditional contracts. In mid-2015 she left the final traditional publisher and has been happily 100% independent since.
Patricia is also the host of Authors Love Readers, a series of conversations between authors about how and why they create stories. The podcast covers lots of genres and all kinds of books, so if you love reading, visit often for a new episode.
