Fun photo

Younger Daughter now has a nice place to live in the West Coast city where she has her new job ... although it's practically barren of furniture, since everything is still being shipped from Italy and likely won't arrive until late August or early September.

Anyway, she's exploring her new community. Just today she was in her local branch library. She messaged me and wrote, "I'm at the library! Wanna see something you'll appreciate?" And here's what she sent:

My books are in the library!

I messaged Younger Daughter back and said, "You gonna tell 'em your mom wrote those?"

She replied: "I am NOT going to be the Daughter of the Amish Smut Writer again, thank you."

(Long story short, while Younger Daughter was in Italy, my authorship became known to many of her Navy cohorts, some of whom ordered a few of my books and thereafter christened me "The Amish Smut Writer." It's a title I bear proudly, though she was teased unmercifully.)

So yeah, a fun photo indeed.

  1. Looking at the spines, they have been read several times! I enjoy your books too.

  2. Okay, I'm confused. Who is this Phillip Lewis guy, and why did YD think he had written your books?

  3. I just read this post to my husband and daughter (19). We all had a hearty laugh. I can guarantee you that within the next week one or both of them will ask me if The Amish Smut Writer has any new posts up. (I've enjoyed a few of your books and I assured them they are smut-free.) ♥

  4. Having never read one of your books, I can assure you now I never will since there is smut in there. The world is full of smut, the last thing we need is more. It's so sad that decency and romance is a thing of the past.

    1. Um, the "smut" was sarcasm from Younger Daughter's Navy cohorts. My books are so squeaky-clean that my characters can't even use the bathroom. Your grandmother can read them without blushing.

  5. Having read all of Patrice's books I can guarantee there is no "smut" or anything even remotely representing sex or even necking!
