Patricia Bracewell’s love of reading led to college degrees in Literature, a career as a high school English teacher, and an unquenchable desire to write. Shadow on the Crown, the first book in her trilogy about the 11th century queen of England, Emma of Normandy, debuted in 2013. Her second novel, The Price of Blood, was published in 2015 and continues the gripping tale of the queen whose marriage to an English king set in motion a series of events that would culminate in the Norman Conquest of 1066. In 2014 Patricia was honored to serve as Writer-in-Residence at Gladstone’s Library in Wales where she conducted research for The Steel Beneath the Silk, the third book in her trilogy about Queen Emma, published in March 2021 by Bellastoria Press. Patricia and her husband live in Oakland, California. Visit her website at www.Patriciabracewell.com.
