25 Amazing Authors & Their Must-Read Books

Pat Simmons, Award-winning & Bestselling Author

“Pay attention to every character you put in your book. They could live forever."

Pat Simmons is a multi-published Christian romance author of more than thirty titles. She is a self-proclaimed genealogy sleuth passionate about researching her ancestors, then casting them in starring roles in her novels. She is a three-time recipient of the RSJ Emma Rodgers Award for Best Inspirational Romance. Two books were featured in Woman's World Magazine. She describes the evidence of the gift of the Holy Ghost as an amazing, unforgettable, life-altering experience. God is the author who advances the stories she writes.

A fellow author describes Pat’s writing in In Defense of Love, “What can I say about Garrett and Shari? I loved their love. I thought Kidd and Eva (Guilty by Association) were it for me but this couple was hot!!! I loved the way Pat Simmons weaves a tale of a smoking hot romance around the infallible Word of God. I nearly had a heart attack but as only Pat would do...she made it all better in the end.”

Romance Novel, Inc., says, “Wow! I loved the way that the storyline (No Easy Catch) flowed so smoothly. Pat’s scriptures were well timed and very appropriate, without being preachy or over the top. I loved how Shae and Rahn seemed like normal, everyday people that lived normal everyday lives. They were not so overly wealthy, or so over the top sexy that they were unbelievable.”

Pat has converted her sofa-strapped sports fanatical husband into an amateur travel agent, untrained bodyguard, and GPS-guided chauffeur. They have a son and a daughter. Pat holds a B.S. in mass communications from Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts, and worked in various positions in radio, television, and print media for more than twenty years.
