ⓘ About P.F. Chisholm

Along with her pen-name of Grace Cavendish, the British author Patricia Finney is often found going under the pseudonym of P.F. Chisholm, under which she has brought out a variety of titles. The main focus of this name is that of the Robert Carey series, a franchise that so far consists of over seven books and counting, following this historical figure throughout. Not only is Finney able to retain a sense of historical accuracy thanks to her academic background, but she is also able to convey a sense of both drama and tension as well, alongside her well defined characters. Early and Personal Life Born in London in 1958, the author Patricia Finney always held a strong interest in both reading and writing from a very early age, as she fostered her passion very early on.
