Biography
Dr. Patrisha Reece-Davies lives in a cottage in Cambridgeshire, England, with her husband and their cat Rufus. She has been a writer and story teller all of her life. She studied English Law to Ph.D and has added writing student text books to her catalogue of skills.
As a poet Patrisha has had several poems published and has won competitions. However, full-length works of fiction and character development remain her favourite writing task and no doubt she will go on to provide more, equally beautifully crafted material for a long time to come.
When asked to say who she is Patrisha will sometimes answer "I am an analyst - I love to explore and examine ideas, philosophies, thoughts and knowledge!" Other times she will answer "I am a teacher! I am never more happy than when one of my students suddenly grasps a complex piece of new information, or when I get a message from a graduate telling me that the work we did together has helped them to find the way to change their lives for the better." And again, at other times she will tell you that she is a dreamer, a word-smith, and a free spirit who just loves laughter, stories and chasing her imagination to see where it will lead. Like most writers she loves to read - her choice of books knows no bounds and her bookshelves are stuffed with classic literature, fantasy, ancient history, archeology, Elizabethan and even older texts, as well as serious books about law, psychology, maths, economics and much more.
Patrisha is elated when readers comment on her work. About Mullery she has received comments such as:
"Great storytelling!"
- or -
"I love a story that starts in the middle and gets you so involved within the first few pages. This one certainly does that and the words flow with ease. Delightfully different and makes you want to read more!" (Thanks Sue - who ever you are it is a joy to give such pleasure.)
Patrisha giggled when she heard about the post mistress who was frequently late for work because she could not put the book down, and was beside herself with pride when a lawyer from South Wales said that she was so wrapped up in Mullery and liked him so much that she actually felt jealous of the character Samum who has become Mullery's lost love.
By her own admission Patrisha does not seek fame and fortune - she just loves to write and she is glad when others get pleasure from reading her work. So, enjoy . . . oh, and please leave your comments for other readers to share too.

From the first page I found this writing beautiful and captivating. Roger Parkinson is the very best kind of gentle, humorous and interesting story teller, and this short collection is a real treat. Also there is good variety here so that although the pace of the collection is consistent and easy on the reader, the writing draws you seamlessly from one mood to another. Great visual imagery, great voice . . . more please. PRD

This is great story telling and packed with detail. I find some of it a little wordy but the details are rich and the characters live and have their own voices. Thanks Laurel . . . now, which of your works shall I enjoy next . . . ?
