More About the Author

Hello, dear Reader!

Thank you for looking at my Author Page. I'm Patti Rowell, writing as Patricia Frances Rowell. Yep! Patricia Frances is my real name.

I live in the woods of north Louisiana on thirty-two acres of trees with My Hero, Johnny. We designed and built our house ourselves. It is on a hill and has several levels and lots of decks, porches, and balconies.

My study is on a second floor level and has three walls of glass. With the forest outside, it is a tree house.

My Hero and I, together, have seven children and thirteen grandchildren.

I have been writing for Harlequin Historicals since 2001 and have published five books with them. I love writing! I am a born story-teller, as my friends will attest.

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day!

Patti

This review is from: An Impetuous Abduction (Harlequin Historical) (Mass Market Paperback)

Like the first reviewer, I really enjoyed this book -- the hero and heroine of this historical romance seemed quite realistic to me. The references to greek tragedy coupled with the antics of the heroine's mother along with the antagonists offer over the top drama, but as much time was spent on character development, it works. Rowell offers an easily read, flowing style of writing and considerable attention to detail. Interesting couple of twists. It was quite creative and I was struck at the natural progression of the actual romance of the characters. Lovely!
