P.N. "Pat" Elrod is the author of 23 print-published novels and
more than 20 short stories -- not bad, considering she published her first novel
in 1990. She lives somewhere on another planet, but maintains a convenient
citizenship in the state of Texas for tax purposes.
She chills quite comfortably with her dogs, Sasha and Megan, and a full-size Dr.
Who TARDIS she once built when she had too much time on her hands. (We'll gloss
over the K-9 in her garage.) Her hair remains red nearly all the time, except
when it's on fire because of a deadline. Everything else is subject to rewrite.
Pat has co-edited a number of anthologies and plans to do more if the publishing
world can handle the workload. Her current projects include a new Quincey Morris
novel and a graphic novel script for the Vampire Files series. She has dozens of
other projects on the back burner; you'll see them here first!
In between the novel work, Pat is polishing her script writing skills. “I’ve
several original projects in mind for screenplays, including scripts for my own
novels. The story-telling demands are different for a visual medium, but that’s
right up my alley. When I write, I tend to run a film of the action in my head,
so doing scripts is just an extension of that for me.
Pat loves meeting readers of her books and guesting at sci/fi conventions all
over the country--when she has the time!
