Patricia Falvey

\n\nPatricia Falvey is an Irish-born writer living in Dallas, Texas. She is the author of the critically acclaimed The Yellow House, and The Linen Queen. Both are historical novels set in County Down and County Armagh. Her newest novel, The Girls of Ennismore, is set in County Mayo near her father’s birthplace, and focuses on the friendship of two girls from vastly different backgrounds set during the Easter Uprising of 1916. It was published in the U.S. by Kensington Books on March 28, 2017. A UK version of the novel is published by Atlantic/Corvus books.\nPatricia immigrated alone to the U.S. at the age of 20 and forged a successful career in the financial services industry, rising to a Managing Director for a major consulting firm where she oversaw a national tax practice. However, she never lost sight of her dream of becoming a published author and in 2008 walked away from her old career to give her dream a chance. In 2010 her courage was rewarded with the publication of The Yellow House. She views this phase of her life as her “Second Act” and strongly encourages anyone with a dream to pursue it no matter what their age. It’s never too late! \nWhen not traveling around the scenic backroads of her beloved Ireland doing research and visiting friends and family, Patricia likes hanging out with good friends in Texas and enjoying the “craic”, and with family in New York. She also enjoys teaching and mentoring fledgling writers and speaking at Irish events.\nFor more on Patricia and her books, visit her website at : www.patriciafalveybooks.com\n\n\n
