My Books and Short Stories

If you’re interested in details about my books, check out my websites.   I write Suspense novels and short stories under the pseudonym, Patricia Lewin, and Romance and Romantic Suspense using the name Patricia Keelyn. 

Or, for a quick overview, I’ve included links to my titles below.  

Writing as Patricia Lewin

These are my suspense stories: three novels and two short stories — with more to come.

AWAY (A Blind Run Short Story)
A prequel short story for BLIND RUN

It’s time for Danny and his little sister Callie to run. Staying at The Haven, a home for children on an island in the northern reaches of Puget Sound, could be deadly But getting off the island may be just as dangerous.

 

BLIND RUN 

Ethan Decker was a specialized hunter for a CIA Shadow Organization, working deep undercover to track down and capture ruthless international mercenaries and fugitives. Then a daring mission takes a lethal turn, leaving innocents dead in its wake, and Ethan’s wife a prime target of a ruthless assassin. To save her, . . .

Ethan exiles himself to a remote desert in New Mexico, a prisoner of his own guilt and grief.

Then one searing day, a former member of Decker’s covert team arrives at his door, shepherding two children. She entrusts them to his protection and leaves without explanation.

Suddenly, the race is on: to reach his ex-wife before the deadly assassin finds her, and to unlock the mystery behind the two children—who have become pawns in a dark conspiracy so evil that even this former spy cannot imagine the peril that lies directly in his path.

OUT OF REACH
(An Erin Baker Thriller Book #1)

Nineteen years ago, Erin Baker’s sister, Claire, was kidnapped from a park in Miami. Although Claire was found four years later, the tragedy had long-lasting effects on both Claire and Erin, who stills blames herself. Now a CIA officer with three martial arts black belts, Erin has dedicated her life to defending those unable to protect themselves. Then a child disappears near her home, bringing up long buried memories, and Erin becomes convinced there’s a link to her sister’s kidnapping case.

OUT OF TIME
(An Erin Baker Thriller – Book #2)

A shaken CIA officer returns to the field, drawn not by duties but by the chance to save a man’s life . . . and to meet the father she hasn’t seen in years.

 

HELEN TOLD ME

(A stand-alone short story)

Helen senses Death’s approach and mourns the loss of her life and leaving her daughter, Caroline, behind. There is no escaping her fate, however, so Helen makes preparations, including one final bequest to Caroline, a gift that will bind them in a way Caroline will never know.

Writing as Patricia Keelyn

These are my romance and romantic suspense books. I originally wrote the romantic suspense under my real name, but three names . . .  well, it’s even harder to keep track of than two names.  🙂  

Romance

A Mother’s Heart Series

These are heart-warming romances that are as much about the love of family as they are about romantic love.

The Protector’s Series

All of these books have a touch of suspense — some more than others. For example, the stories in both Nobody’s Hero and Running for Cover are built around the suspense.  While in Loving Lindsey, Rough Around the Edges, and Becca and the Beast, the suspense is minor element of the story.
