J.R. Patrick

It’s all about chemistry. J.R. Patrick has had a love affair with reading from the very first story she devoured as a child. With her teenage years came romances, and they opened the door to a whole new world, one in which she’s still happily immersed. On the other side of the coin, J.R. and writing didn’t always get along. To say she is a woman of few words is an understatement, and her career as a scientist—where being concise is the order of the day—certainly doesn’t help. Thankfully, her characters believe in perseverance, and they whisper, scream, mutter, plead... whatever it takes to get their story told. Even if it’s one word at a time. You might not have gotten past the scientist bit, possibly wondering what science and romance have to do with each other. To that J.R. answers: it’s all about chemistry.
