Denise Patrick
Born in an Army Medical Center that no longer exists, Denise has lived her entire life around the military. First an Army brat, then an Army Captain, then married to a (now retired) Army officer, she has traveled extensively in the United States and Europe. With eleven schools under her belt before receiving a degree in European History with a dual minor in English and German, she finally settled on school number twelve and emerged with a law degree in. . .you don’t need to know how long ago. Suffice it to say that, had she remained in the Army, she would, herself, be retired by now.
Living in Europe with a vivid imagination was all it took for Denise to start writing. In Junior High and High School, her best friend read everything she wrote and asked for more. Once she started reading her mother’s Barbara Cartland romances she was hooked on historicals.
Writing took a backseat to life for many years, but she never stopped reading and enjoying romances - especially historicals. She and her aunt used to joke about writing their own someday, but when that aunt died in 2002, she realized that if she ever wanted her dream of writing to come true, it was time to do something about it. As a form of therapy, she began writing again and when the smoke cleared in 2004, she had written four complete novels.
Denise can be reached at denisepatrick@gmail.com and is always willing to chat about history. Her favorite time periods are Regency, Victorian, and the span of the Holy Roman Empire in central Europe.
