Patry Francis
February 4, 2008
- If you doubt the goodness of the human spirit, take a look at what happened last week. The call went out for bloggers to mention Patry Francis and her novel...and more than 400 blogs answered.

Authors and bloggers...and authors who are ...

- There is a movement afoot here in the Big Red Room to call attention to the release of Patry Francis' thriller, THE LIAR'S DIARY, in paperback, which happened on Tuesday. Promoting a book is not easy in even the best of circumstances, and Patry Francis, the author, is ill. So we authors are doing the viral bit for her. I therefore direct you to Ms. Francis' web site (below), where you can also ...

- Next up on my reading list, Patry Francis' first novel, The Liar's Diary. I've been keenly aware of Patry's writing since I first published her wonderful short story, "LIVE PURE, LIVE TRUE" at Literary Mama when I was the fiction editor there a few years ago.
