PATRICIA SMITH

I worked for fourteen years in technical support and as a computer programmer before changing career to help young people to improve their numeracy and English skills.

I have enjoyed writing stories all of my life and my first novel Time Split, which made several best sellers lists, was published in 2011.  This was soon followed by the Distant Suns stories, Islands - The Epidemic and more recently the long awaited sequel to Time Split, Time Split - Briggs.  

My choice of genre stems from my passion for astronomy, my love of apocalyptic thrillers and the 'What if?' scenario.

I strives in my writing to give the reader a roller-coaster ride of emotions and excitement, mixed in with a good dash of fear - all from the safety of their armchair.
