Hometown:: Portland USA

About Me:: I'm a retired travel agent who still loves to travel. My finished novel is the first in The Travel Agent Mysteries. I'm the Docket Editor for the National Sisters In Crime newsletter, In SinC. My book, Downsized To Death, is presently looking for an agent and/or publisher, and is a traditional mystery with a reluctant amateur sleuth trying to save her office and job by finding a missing employee the police think may have murdered their state supervisor. Every thing she learns flows into the murder investigation and puts her at odds with the detective on the case. This is not a travelogue or destination mystery, it is not about a tour escort. It is about the business of a travel agent..

New Year, New something

Been a while since I posted. What happened to all the vampires on TV? I took a look at my profile noticed that the two vamps series I liked have been cancelled. So, are they on their way out? In a rejection letter to someone, Janet Reid comment that they are becoming a hard sell. Really? How can that be? I mean, how can we ever be tired of a creature we love to hate and hate to love?

Sheesh, wonder how werewolves and ghosts are doing?

Happy New Year everyone. Sure hope '09 puts the… Continue

Repeat, repeat

Have you noticed the number of TV shows that seem to be remakes of past shows? Moonlight looks like a dupe of an old Canadian Vampire series that had a vamp cop on the night shift with a doctor for a girlfriend who was trying to 'cure' him. Journeyman looks like another version of Quantum Leap. Reaper, a comic version of Brimstone. Patg

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”

Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."

Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"

Book Synopsis:

The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.

Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.

The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.

My knowledge of the US legal system stems mainly from Perry Mason and LA Law, but when I spent some time working for a US lawfirm over here I did find myself recognising a lot of things I’d read about in John Grisham’s The Firm...

What a great way to promote. Also met many Sisters and especially Guppies. A great organization. A great con.

Hi all! Can't believe I found you again.
Love and kisses and a few tears.

At 11:15am on January 11, 2008, Rick Mofina said…: Patricia - thanks for accepting my invite and for your kind words. My Jason Wade series is starting to get a following. I was in Seattle only last summer and will be back this July for the PNWA Summer Conference
