"One of the sharpest minds and clearest voices writing today."Hugh Howey, New York Times bestselling author of WOOL "Fitzgerald has an eye for nuance, deftly striking chords that will resonate with readers for days." Jason Gurley, bestselling author of Eleanor "Fitzgerald's sharp and evocative prose pulls the reader into her stories." Rysa Walker, author of Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Grand Prize Winner Timebound "Her stories are strong, her characters vibrant, and her imagination comes to life for her readers." Ann Christy, USA Today bestselling author of the Strikers trilogy "I Dream of PIA was an astonishing-and hilarious-look at one man's encounter with a unique A.I. in the form of his very own Personal Intelligence Assistant. It's a triumphant Hilaire Belloc meets Isaac Asimov moment, unique, uplifting. Patrice hit another homerun in my third anthology The Alien Chronicles, with Hanging with Humans, an uproarious look at what happens when an intergalactic gameshow sends one of its contestants to the exotic planet Earth-to experience a prom. And then, for The A.I. Chronicles, she delivered Piece of Cake, which imagined a questionable utopia whose balance was governed by strict rules-on who to marry, how much to exercise, and, in order to maintain the ideal weight, how much cake you're allowed to eat. It was what I had come to realize was quintessential Fitzgerald, a Douglas Adams-level tour-de-force of semi-seriousness and absolute levity, an amazing voice." Samuel Peralta, USA Today bestselling author and producer of The Future Chronicles series.

Amazon Kindle bestseller in political fiction. 50,000+ copies downloaded to date!5.5 out of 5 stars - Top PickUnderground Book ReviewsWhat Amazon readers are saying: I picked up RUNNING on Saturday evening and put it down on Sunday at 8:15pm... what a ride! From the strong female lead to the charmer turned villain, the political intrigue and the romantic longing for what might have been, I was riveted to my Kindle. Trying to concentrate on some gardening I found my mind returning to the book and gave up on the roses to head back to the wonderfully rich world that Ms. Fitzgerald has created. (My boys had to make their own dinner but the dog and cat did get fed!)... RUNNING had me up till the wee hours of the morning! And, when I was not reading it, I was thinking about the characters. This book is at times funny, heartbreaking, and suspenseful.... writing, pace, and storyline were so good that I found myself putting off other things so I could keep reading.... it grabbed me and didn't let go. With a fast-paced plot and an unerring feel for the cinematic, Fitzgerald creates a thriller that will resonate not just with political junkies like myself, but the suspense-thriller reader as well.... Fitzgerald did a superb job with the different points of view. The voices were powerful and distinct. Catherine grew as a woman, a mother, a candidate and an individual, and the blackmailer (I don't want to give too much away) rapidly spiraled, causing the reader to both hate and pity him while looking upon him with absolute disgust.... Several times, all I could do was shake my head at the truth behind the scenes.... Mark my words: Patrice Fitzgerald has a bestseller in the making! I read the whole novel in one sitting, it was that good.... This story is crying out for a movie adaptation, you'll mentally be casting it as you read! It breezily moves along the way to a thrilling conclusion, with never a dull moment.... This is a great piece of writing that belongs on every bestseller list in the country.... Can't believe this is a first novel...... I loved this book from the very beginning!... Just when you thought you knew where the story was going it surprised you.... Terrific plot - I had to keep turning the pages (metaphorically speaking). The characters were intriguing and I had no idea how it would end - always a good thing when you're reading for escape! Looking forward to the next one.... A stunning suspense novel... You will not be sorry to purchase this -- it's a great read.
