More About the Author

Patricia Simpson grew up in the wilderness of Western Montana, where it meant a 3-1/2 hour drive just to buy shoes. When she was young, the iPod hadn't yet been invented, and there were no radio stations in the area, so on the many long drives for shoes, Patricia amused herself by reading novels or creating her own stories in her head. She was encouraged to write by her sister, who always asked to be read what she had written so far that day, her Egyptian-born English teacher in junior high, and then again by a creative writing professor at the University of Washington. Instead of seeking a writing degree, Patricia chose to pursue a BA in Art and has worked as a graphic artist/web developer at the University of Washington since 1982. Patricia still enjoys painting almost as much as she loves to write.

Ms Simpson has won numerous awards for her fiction, including Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award, Career Achievement Award, and has been a finalist in the RITA awards and for Best Indie Paranormal of the Year.

Her Scottish husband encourages her to accompany him on his frequent business trips around the world, and whenever possible Patricia goes with him to scope out spooky historical places to use as the settings of her books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Started out well enough, August 27, 2001
By 
"d_chaney" (Lanesborough, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This book started out well but I wasn't enchanted with the ending. Marissa Quinn is a cattlewoman from Montana who flies to Seattle to visit her sister Leslie when she gets a disturbing letter from her. In Seattle she meets David and Diana Woodward, two peculiar people who seem to be hiding something. Alek is warrior from the time of the Druids and the Romans who has been brought forward in time into Marissa's world where he can amazingly speak and understand the language. He knows that he has a limited amount of time in the new world and he may never get back home if he cannot perform the ritual with the Night Orchid. While I enjoy Patricia Simpson's stories about the paranormal and time travel, I was not overjoyed with this particular book. There was a story line, it was just not my kind of story. It was however, well written.
