-Controversial

Patricia Brothers' books are explicit and graphic.

You may wonder why Butterfly Typeface Publishing (a faith-based company) would publish so-called non-Christian work.

Controversy continued ...

You wouldn’t be alone. It has been suggested that we aren't.

Because we know that there is nothing new under the sun, the things we do and dare to write about have already been done.

Choosing to sweep things under the rug helps no one. I know what 'dirty little secrets' can do to a person.

I also know what happens when you don't talk about stuff.

I grew up relatively sheltered - only knowing what was in books and 2-hour movies. My sense of the world was skewed at best. I was naive and believed people did and said what was good and true.

All I'm suggesting is that we open our minds and hearts. Sometimes exposure to dirt can help a person clean up their lives!

I can’t help but wonder how different my life would have been if I’d been introduced to characters who weren’t so ‘clean cut.’

Patricia’s characters are real. What happens in her books is believable. She paints a complete picture of a struggle that has existed from the beginning! (Have you read Genesis?)

As a follower of Christ, I choose to expose it all and let God's people know they are not alone and they have a choice in the lives they live.

By the way, Ms. Brothers isn't our only author who writes with spice.

- Personable

When did you start writing?

I started writing in High School. I was an avid reader prior to writing. Stephen King was my favorite author. As I read his books, I had an inkling that this would also be me. I have a passion for the arts including acting. For me they both go hand in hand and High School is where it flourished.

What does writing mean to you?

Writing means everything to me. It is an avenue to escape. It is a way to leave the real world for a little while and become invested in a character’s life. It is a way to express yourself authentically and as creatively as you like. It is taking a craft and making it your own and then bringing your reader along for the ride.

Why do you write?

I write because I just enjoy it. It allows me to “knock down that fourth wall” and as I stated earlier, bring my readers along for the ride. I write to entertain. I want my readers to become so invested that they keep asking for more. I love writing with cliff hangers. Truly, they aren’t cliff hangers in my book, but I’ve gotten a “you can’t just end the book like that” or “I’ve got questions” a time or two. That feeling. That rush. The excitement to know that my readers see my vision is so satisfying.

What kinds of things have you done since releasing your book(s)?

I started a website and am working on my social media presence and advertising. And, of course, I am still writing! I finally found my “spark” (thanks Disney). With two books completely published and distributed, and a third in the editing stages, I have begun my fourth book. I also enter writing contests in which I have won second place, which was the world's greatest feeling. The fact that I placed. So, it has inspired me to do more.

What are you working on currently?

I haven’t quite found the title for my fourth book yet, but that is my biggest focus right now. I want to always have a book in the wings. As soon as one book is published, I am handing the publisher another. I now understand when I was mentored about continuously writing.

How can readers support you besides purchasing your book(s)?

SHARE! SHARE! SHARE! Leaving reviews. Following me on social media. All of that is important to me.

Regarding writing, what would be your dream come true?

My biggest dream is to become international! Even bigger than that is to have any of my work turned into a movie or television series. I imagine the day I am fully recognized by the Writer’s Guild - including presenting and winning an award on the show! I have my gown ready. I would absolutely LOVE to write for a studio, filming, or production company.

What does Butterfly Typeface Publishing (Iris M. Williams) mean for your writing?

I would NOT be here without BTP and Iris M. Williams! From the mentoring and coaching to making me “jump” (see Steve Harvey for reference). And boy, it was the most thrilling and exciting thing I could have done when I jumped. The growth and courage I have received have been nothing but amazing. I was able to apply the things I have learned and gained to my professional and personal life; for that, I am truly grateful.

- Talented

Patricia Brothers was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. The mother of two is currently working on her degree in Organizational Leadership with an emphasis in Psychology. In her high school days, writing and acting were some of Brothers' favorite pastimes. She has been the lead actress in two plays and has held multiple supporting roles.

However, being an author has always been her dream. While she has held many positions in the corporate world, she never let go of that dream.

The mom of two has a way of weaving words to incorporate various emotional and physical stimuli that refuse to be ignored. Her books will leave you intrigued, puzzled, angered, and least of all, aroused.

A Patricia Brothers book is not for the 'weak of mind,' but for those who prefer a challenge with their pleasurable entertainment!

People are dying, but no one knows why or how...

Detective Alana Wells has a huge assignment. The clock is ticking, and the bodies are piling up.

The sexy young detective is up to her neck in scandal, murder, and sexual exploits.

"Death by Imagination" is the debut novel of first-time author, Patricia Brothers.

Released August 18, 2017

BEWARE: Although Stella’s Revenge is about a child – it is in no form a children’s book!

Like most of us, Stella knows right from wrong, but also, like most of us, her intrusive thoughts take over and dictate her every move. Leaving behind a world of rainbows and butterflies, Stella ventures into the dark side where hardcore truth meets vengeance. And no matter what she wants, the impulse to do wrong is always there.

Author to Author ...

Patricia was referred to me by another Butterfly Author, Angie Johnson (Blended Hearts).

She emailed me, and we haven't stopped talking since!

Patty Cakes (as I like to call her) is kind, funny, dramatic, humble, and destined to write movies. Her life is just as exciting as her books and I look forward to the day when she pens her memoir!

She has already submitted her next title, Her Only Desire, for publication and her words of caution to me were, "Get ready!"
