Patricia Maxwell

Patricia Maxwell is the pseudonym of Jennifer Blake, a bestselling author with more than fifty novels to her name. She has received many awards and accolades for her writing, including being inducted into the Affaire de Coeur Romance Hall of Fame and the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame. With more than 30 million novels sold in over eighteen languages, she has solidified her place as a legend in the romance genre.

Patricia Ann Maxwell, born on March 9, 1942, in a one hundred-twenty year old house in Goldonna, Louisiana, grew up on her parents' farm in Northern Louisiana. She married at the young age of fifteen and began writing at twenty-one, selling her first book at twenty-seven. She started her writing career by publishing gothic novels under the name Patricia Maxwell, and also wrote one book in collaboration as Elizabeth Trehearne. She later published a murder mystery and a romantic suspense story under her maiden name, Patricia Ponder. As the gothic genre began to decline, she focused on publishing romance novels, releasing contemporary romances as Maxine Patrick and historical romances as Jennifer Blake, the pseudonym she uses currently.
