edit data

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.

Death in Amsterdam Based on a True Story by Patricia Simpson

Death in Amsterdam: Based on a True Story

Hello Everyone--

My new book, Death in Amsterdam, is now available on Kindle. Before you go ordering it, please note this book is not a paranormal romance. It's not a romance at all, in fact. It's narrative nonfiction, which is a fancy way of saying that most of the book is based on facts, but some of the passages are a product of my imagination.
