Rustle Up This Whodunit

In REACTION SHOT, the newest Caught Dead in Wyoming mystery, Elizabeth Danniher, her KWMT-TV colleague Mike Paycik, rancher Tom Burrell, and their supporting staff of sleuths take on the case of a ranch foreman found dead. For most in Cottonwood County, the reaction is … good riddance. Suspects include the hot-headed Hiram Poppinger, townsfolk seeking revenge for a long-ago murder, fellow grazing association ranchers — and Tom.

Spotlight on Writing

I was a guest on Draft2Digital’s Spotlight live YouTube chat series in April to offer advice for authors looking to make a career out of their writing. Key takeaway: writers starting out should take the long view. Do the things that are sustainable for you as a person so you can continue to have a long career. Thank you to host Dan Wood, D2D’s director of operations and author relations.

Meet Patricia

Welcome!

Wondering what unites 50-plus books of mystery, romance, women’s fiction? My readers — Patricia’s ReadHeads — say it’s strong characters you’d like to know, touches of dry humor, smart plots, connected stories, and settings that make you want to move in. 

Explore here to find excerpts, reviews, covers for my books – I hope something suits you. Check out extras for readers and aspiring writers, along with a news section (former journalist here) and my blog.

Give my Authors Love Readers podcast a try. It’s conversations between authors about how and why we create our stories, asking questions readers want to know. Fascinating for readers, a goldmine for aspiring authors.

Happy reading and listening!
