What’s New
Panning for a new mystery
In the latest Caught Dead in Wyoming story, Cross Talk, Elizabeth unravels a murder with ties to egotistical anchor Thurston Fine, plus other KWMT mysteries. Some clarity begins to form in the Tom-Mike question as well. That sets the stage for an answer in Book 12, Air Ready.
No. 3’s a charm(er)
New release Premise of Innocence completes The Innocence Trilogy of mysteries with romantic elements set in the Washington, D.C., area. Who is shooting at Ally Northcutt? Detective Tanner Landis must find out before the next bullet reaches its target.
Self-Publishing spotlight
Enjoyed my recent Self-Publishing guest stint. You can catch it on YouTube oro n my Extras for Writers page. The show, co-hosted by Self-Publishing Formula co-founders and authors Mark Dawson and James Blatch, covered topics such as writing characters that readers care about, what new writers should focus on, and starting a book by eavesdropping.
Meet Patricia McLinn
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 the site to find excerpts, reviews, covers for my books – I hope something suits you. Check out Extras for Readers and Extras for 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! And feel free to read more about me here.
