Patricia Riley to have first book published
Arapahoe resident, Patricia Riley, was recently notified that she now belongs to the ranks of published writers. Riley, the author of “Engaged to a Spanish Billionaire” has had her first book published by PublishAmerica which went on sale Wednesday, August 27 in book stores and on the Internet. Riley spent her youth reading, writing, and listening to her sisters spin romantic tales as bedtime stories. Not happy with just reading stories, Riley wanted to write them. Three years ago she decided to get serious about her writing and pursue it as a career.
Riley is married to Deryl Riley. They have two children, Natasha and Shane, along with two grandchildren Corbin and Cadence. She is a member of Prairieland Romance Writers and is currently working on her latest romantic alpha hero. Riley stated that she started writing this book in January, finished it in February and submitted it to the publisher in May. In June she was notified that her book would be published. She has submitted another book for consideration and is hopeful that it will become her second publication. Riley works from her home office and stated that she would rather read and write romance fiction than watch television.
