Patricia Coughlin

Patricia Coughlin is a troubling combination of hopeless romantic and dedicated dreamer. Troubling, that is, for anyone hoping to drag her back to the "real world" when she is in the midst of writing a book. Close family and friends have learned to coexist peacefully with the latest cast of characters in her head. The author of more than twenty-five novels, she has received special recognition from PUBLISHERS WEEKLY and ROMANTIC TIMES magazines. Her work also earned her numerous awards, including the prestigious RITA AWARD from Romance Writers of America. Her book, THE AWAKENING, was turned into a made-for-TV film. Ms. Coughlin lines in Rhode Island.
