🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Patricia Sprinkle
But being over-endowed with the Protestant ethic, she wrote more “important” things first and just wrote the mystery in her spare time, so her first mystery, called “Murder at Markham”, took her thirteen years to finish. And it took Patricia even longer for her to learn that any writing that gives her pleasure is important, whether it’s non fiction or fiction. Since 1988, she has been writing mysteries and non fiction. Bob’s concluded that writing is not her profession, but her obsession. Especially since her favorite vacation is to go somewhere where somebody else fixes her meals and where she is able to write more than she does back home, without any interruptions.
