Patricia Bates
Patricia lives in British Columbia, Canada with her son and husband. A prolific author with any number of projects on the go, there's always something around to get lost in. Patricia was exposed at an early age to such great writers as Louis L'Amour and Nora Roberts and fell in love with the written word long before she learned to print and hasn't fallen out yet.
A huge history buff, she dabbles in everything from Ancient Egyptian to American Civil War, and the settlement of Canada. Her love of history combined with her love of the written word produced her love of historical romances.
Patricia is currently a member of the Romance Divas, Passionate Critter's Critique Group, Champagne Author's Loop, Bladewriters Yahoo Group, moderate/own Of Ink and Quille Google Group, as well as several fan fiction groups. She's won several peer voted awards for her writing for The Young Rider's Fan Fiction as well as her X-men stories/series.
