Multiple USA Today bestseller Patricia McLinn has published more than 60 books (but who's counting?), mostly twisty mysteries and heart-stirring romances.  That "mostly"  mysteries and romances, leaves room for romantic mysteries/romantic suspense, women's fiction, historical romance, nonfiction ... and stay tuned for what appeals to her next.

Patricia spent more than 20 years as an editor at the Washington Post after newspaper stints in Rockford, Ill., and Charlotte,  N.C., which taught her a lot, gave her fabulous friends, and a few potential murder victims. ;-) 

Readers and reviewers citing her novels for their wit and vivid characterization particularly pleases Patricia. The books have also topped bestseller lists and won numerous awards, but what you really care about is if you'd like them. She offers free-first-in-series (not on a set schedule -- grab them when you can) so you can easily give them a try to see if you and Patricia are a good reader-author match.
