Patricia Bracewell

Patricia Bracewell is a historical fiction author who was born and bred in Los Angeles. She spent much of her childhood on her parents’ sofa reading novels set in historical England.This was so weird given that she was brought up in the sunshine and dry hills of Southern California but was so interested in the green and wet dales of England. As such, it was not a surprise that when she went to college she studied English literature.She also got herself involved in campus theater productions, sang in a small band that would perform at local bars, worked in a bookstore and had quite the varied college career.Bracewell spent her final semester in college in Switzerland and then went on a travel marathon ending up in Great Britain. It was here that she visited many of the places she had travelled to in books such as Joyce’s Dublin, Dickens’ London, Wordsworth’s Lake District and Austen’s Bath.
