Beneath His Hands is Here

January 9, 2024 Patricia Elliott

Hey all,

I’m happy to announce that Beneath His Hands, Book Two in the Psychological Thriller and Romance Duology, is now available for download on Amazon. I wanted to do a rapid release so that both books were available as soon as possible.

I’ve been asked whether there will be a paperback version of this duology, but I haven’t wanted to say much until now because of some complications that arose over the last month; however, I’m happy to announce that I am working on the paperback copy and hope to have it released in the next month. I’m also hoping to do a audio version as well, but I’m uncertain as to when that will be released.

It’s very exciting, to say the least, because these are the first two full-length stories that have been published in the last four years. And I do plan on releasing another three-five stories this year, time and life permitting.

But in the meantime, please take a moment to enjoy the two new releases. Her Prison, His Game and Beneath His Hands:

Her Prison His Game Blurb:

In the middle of a forest, in an unknown location, is a game. A psychological game designed to play with the mind until it breaks.

The man responsible wants fresh meat. Someone who hasn’t experienced the horrors of the real world. He wants to see how long it would take to make them fall apart, to make them wish for death.

Combing the city of Surrey, he spots his next target…a young librarian named Jenna McCay.

When Jenna McCay turns nineteen and goes out to celebrate, she doesn’t realize that her easy life is about to end, and the horrors of life set in, in unimaginable ways.

Will she find the strength to survive the game, or will she break before the final curtain falls?*Trigger warning: contains scenes that some readers may find disturbing*

Beneath His Hands Blurb:

“Ethan Barrett loves his solitude, hence his boat the Em-Dash and the wide-open ocean. It is exactly what he needs to finish his script and celebrate his 30th birthday in peace.

His hopes are quickly dashed when two storms roll in. One with reddish blond hair, and the other which sends him overboard in an attempt to rescue the ninja lady from the worst storm he’s ever experienced in his lifetime.

As his boat goes down and their hope for survival darkens, will he be able to gain the trust of the mystery woman full of secrets, and work together to survive? Or…

Will she be their downfall in an already merciless environment?”

A Psychological Thriller / Romance Duology

December 10, 2023December 10, 2023 Patricia Elliott

Two stories born out of one idea. One is as dark as dark can be, and the other is about learning to love and trust others when no one has ever given you reason to before. Both are about finding strength to keep going when all the odds seem to be against you. And all the odds are against them as you will come to find out when you read both “Her Prison, His Game” and “Beneath His Hands.”

Her Prison His Game – Book One Blurb:

“In the middle of a forest, in an unknown location, is a game. A psychological game designed to play with the mind until it breaks.

The man responsible wants fresh meat. Someone who hasn’t experienced the horrors of the real world. He wants to see how long it would take to make them fall apart, to make them wish for death.

Combing the city of Surrey, he spots his next target…a young librarian named Jenna McCay.

Jenna McCay didn’t realize that when you turn 19, the easy life she knew would end, and the horrors of life would set in, in unimaginable ways.

Will she find the strength to survive the game, or will she break before the final curtain falls?”

Iron Widow

September 25, 2023 Patricia Elliott

I’ve had this book on my shelf since the year it came out. I hadn’t read it due to having a concussion following a few car accidents that made reading difficult. Today, though, I decided to spend some time reading and let me tell you something, this book is riveting and spellbinding.

I’m about a quarter of the way through it, and it just keeps propelling me to read more. The story starts with a young woman wanting to avenge the death of her sister, and then it morphs into so much more. A fascinating tale of a woman breaking the confines of what’s expected and becoming more than what their world thinks they can be.

And I think this can be said of any of us. Although for most of us here, the barrier is our own mind. Our mind stops us from reach our potential because we listen to the negative thoughts. Those thoughts overwhelm us like a shroud shroud that we can’t see through.

What if we just pushed ourselves beyond what we think we’re capable of into the realm of what feels like the unknown. What could we do then? How much more could we accomplish if we push beyond the fears?

Maybe we could rise up and take control of our own chrysalis and emerge with a new form, a heroic form or beyond. Sometimes that takes us stepping out of our comfort zone and standing without fear, even though fear might be clawing away inside, in the face of the unknown. Kind of like the quote, fake it until you make it.

People will always try to stop you from going after what they believe is unattainable to them, but that doesn’t mean it’s unattainable to you. You have more strength inside you than you think you do. You have unspoken abilities that are just beneath the surface, waiting for you to believe in yourself.

Maybe you should become your own iron widow towards anything mentally negative that you might be telling yourself about who you are, and fight to take back your life and live your dreams.

That’s my plan anyway. 🙂

Have a great day!

Gold Book Award

April 8, 2023April 8, 2023 Patricia Elliott

Milestones.

Def: an action or event marking a significant change or stage in development.

I surpassed another author milestone yesterday in a month that I needed something good to happen to stave off the sombreness of a terrible event that happened this time last year. I won’t go into what happened last year, but I want to share my new exciting news.

My book received a Five Star Review from Literary Titan and went on to receive their Five Star Gold Book Award, with the following review

“Her Lover’s Face by Patricia Elliott is an intriguing and captivating novel that offers readers a whirlwind of twists, turns, and surprises. This family drama interweaves romance, suspense, and danger to create a beautiful and complex novel. The story centers around two imperfect individuals, and the novel opens with the death of Laryssa’s abusive husband. This sets the stage for the struggle that Laryssa, who is pregnant, must face as she navigates a new life free from her abusive partner.

What sets this book apart from many other romance novels is its depiction of the complexities of relationships. Elliott expertly portrays the flaws in her characters, ensuring that readers are unable to identify a clear hero or heroine. Instead, the novel explores the gray areas that exist within human relationships, effectively capturing the nuances that make them so intricate. The author also skillfully portrays the differences between the ways men and women think and react in certain situations, creating a narrative that feels true to life.

Laryssa’s character is the backbone of this story, and the author has done an excellent job of portraying her struggles as she tries to come to terms with her newfound freedom. When she meets Alex, who bears a striking resemblance to her late husband, the attraction between them is undeniable. However, Laryssa is determined not to surrender her power to anyone and seeks to define the terms of her own love and life. Unfortunately, both Alex and Laryssa are plagued with trust issues and a lack of understanding of each other, making it clear that they both require therapy to resolve their issues.

Her Lover’s Face is an excellent read that offers a nuanced exploration of human relationships, filled with engaging and multifaceted characters that will keep readers captivated until the last page.”

The Ghost Writer

February 21, 2022February 21, 2022 Patricia Elliott

What do you think of when you see this phrase? I know your thoughts have probably drifted to those who are commissioned to write a story that will ultimately have someone else’s name on the cover by the end of it.

ghostwriter – a writer who gives the credit of authorship to someone else.

But like so many words in the English language that have more than one meaning, I feel that another definition fits this word to a T. If your a writer, you will likely relate to what I’m about to say in some way. Have you ever made a post on social media and received little to no interaction? You try anything and everything, and yet, you can’t seem to hit the viral cord like others do.

You might even try what others have, but still you seem to remain the wallflower like we used to be at high school dances. We’ve become the virtual wallflowers now. *lol*

Some might assume that you are just posting boring content, but I think if someone makes a post and states they are buying books and asks for recommendations, and no one posts, then the problem definitely isn’t you…because who doesn’t want to sell their books?

Every writer wants to be seen and to sell their books. And I’ve seen hundreds of similar posts with tons of interactions, so what relegates some users to the virtual wallflower corner while others hit the viral overload? And is there a way out of it’s deep dark web once the infamous algorithm has assigned it to you?

So I think the term fits us well. We’re ghost writers without even meaning to be. haha

What do you think?

New Release by Virginia Wallace

Most of us are used to having our relationships handed to us. Siblings, parents, family friends …

But sometimes those relationships don’t quite work out, do they? Sometimes the relationships that matter most are the ones that we chose for ourselves, or that Fate chose for us. Sometimes, the dearest family is a family of friends.

Thus I present to you these four stories, stories about the relationships that matter most. They may not be ingrained into our DNA, or forced upon us by society, but their influence lingers on nevertheless.

Life isn’t always about blood, or social familiarity. No, life more often consists of the bonds that we forge during our most vulnerable moments.

‘Eternally October’ is a book about those moments, and how they define our lives.
