Call me Patricia

  Patricia Ruiz Steele

 Fiction: Mystery and romance. 

Memoirs:  Personal and 

Travelogs in Spain, England, France, and Italy 

Patricia says, 'I'm a West Coast girl who moved to the East Coast and back again.'  Twice.   My imagination has always been etched in music, colors, and rose-colored glasses.  I've had crazy characters and stories flitting around in my head since I was old enough to hold a pen.  I'm a fan of historical fiction filled with adventure and romance.  And I’m addicted to genealogy, most notably from Spain.  My sense of humor runs a little rampant at times, I'm no stranger to laughter, and I love a good anticipation scene.  

The Girl Immigrant is now translated into Spanish as Historia de una niña emigrante.  

She is an administrator for the Hawaiian Spaniards Facebook site, a former member of the Arizona Genealogical Society, and a volunteer for the Find-A-Grave organization. She also writes memoirs and fiction, with a touch of romance between the pages, and recently added Historical Fiction to her genre.

Between writing, research, and caring for her flower pots, she enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, and savoring red wine.
