Patricia Gligor replied to Andrea Phillips's discussion 'New Writer'"Andrea,
The critique group I wrote about is a local group of writers. If you can find one in your area, I highly recommend it. The people in my group write in all different genres which sounds like a bad thing but is actually a good thing because…"
Patricia Gligor replied to Andrea Phillips's discussion 'New Writer'"Good for you! I know how you feel. My dream finally came true last month when my first mystery novel, Mixed Messages, was published by Post Mortem Press. I was - and still am - ecstatic!
I've learned a few things on the road to publication and…"

Patricia Gligor posted a blog postTrue Story: Cincinnati Strangler terrorized city
In 1965-1966, my main interests were boys, learning how to drive so I could get my driver’s license and school, pretty much in that order. So I paid little attention to the news, never realizing how what was going on then (in my city) would mirror the novel I would write many years later.You see, I learned something this past week that actually gave me chills. From October 1965 to December 1966, a man attacked, raped and murdered seven Cincinnati women. He strangled them, using either an…See More
Patricia Gligor replied to scribbler's discussion 'Do you have a blog or website that promotes your book?' in the group Marketing & Promotions"It's interesting that I found and joined this group today because the post on my blog this week definitely promotes my book - and it's kind of eerie. The topic is "True Story: Cincinnati Strangler terrorized city." If you're…"

Patricia Gligor commented on Patricia Gligor's blog post 'What's in a Name?'"Absolutely, Stephen! I need to be able to visualize my characters when I think of their names. That's what tells me if I'm on the right track in naming them."
"The name should fit the character. I was told I should consider changing two of my male characters' names. My critique group thought Jamie and Laurel were too soft for he handsome fearless males I present."
Patricia Gligor posted a blog postWhat's in a Name?
I remember the day my mom and I were talking about my writing career. She asked me what name I planned to go by, what pen name I was going to use. “Maybe,” she said, “you should choose a name that’s easier to pronounce than Gligor. Don’t most writers do that?” Our conversation reminded me of an article I once read. It was an interview with actress, Jacqueline Bisset. When the interviewer told Jacqueline that he’d heard several variations on how to pronounce her last name and asked her which was…See More
Patricia Gligor commented on Patricia Gligor's blog post 'A Dream Come True'"Thanks for your kind words, Janice. Actually, of the two, Judy Bolton was my all time favorite but I loved Nancy Drew too!"

I’ve wanted to be a published author since I was a little girl. Like most girls my age, I read every Judy Bolton and Nancy Drew mystery; they were among my most prized possessions. When I was ten years old, I submitted a poem I’d written to my Sunday school magazine. I can still remember how thrilled I was when I saw my name printed under the title. My first byline! Now, many years later (no need to tell how many), I feel…

I’m a morning person. Most days, as soon as I wake up, I’m alert and ready to start my day. After coffee, of course. That’s why I choose to write in the morning; I’m fresh and at my best. When I’m writing, whether it’s the first draft of a manuscript or a rewrite, I focus on that. I don’t even check my email or answer my phone until I’m satisfied that I’ve produced the day’s writing. It’s…

Chuck Keyes (The Chuck!) said… Patricia, top of the world to you, and welcome to authors.com …from The Chuck!
I write sci-fi novels filled with adventure, mystery, romance, drama, horror, and plenty of comedy… Sci-fi for every adult human to enjoy. I'm also a well-known published poet. When you have a few free moments, please check out my Authors page and a few of my videos and blogs I have recently added. Many of my blogs consist of free to read enjoyable sci-fi stories I plan to unite within a book titled: 'Epic Marvels. One of my newest sci-fi novels is titled: 'They!', which is somewhat related to the 1954 sci-fi classic movie, 'Them!' I'm currently working on a sci-fi mystery titled: 'The Mysteries of Muller Park'.Let me know if you'd like to become friends.
The Chuck!
