Patricia Lewin

Patricia Lewin has lived all over the country from Oregon to Florida and several states in between. In the process of moving around, she earned a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science while working a variety of less-than- exciting jobs. After graduation, she went to work for IBM and stayed put for close to twelve years, after which she left her career in computers to fulfill a life-long dream of writing. She currently lives outside Boston with her husband, and although she's finally found a career she loves, she can't guarantee there are no more moves in her future.

Since 1994, Patricia has published eight books under the names Patricia Keelyn and Pat Van Wie. Her books have been on the Waldenbooks Romance Bestseller List and nominated for numerous awards, including: Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Awards and the Colorado Award of Excellence. Her newest book, BLIND RUN, a fast- paced thriller, will be released in hardcover from Ballantine, April 1, 2003.
