Patricia Sands

Patricia Sands lives two hours north of Toronto, but her heart's other home is the South of France. She spends part of each year on the Cote d'Azur and once a year co-leads a 16-women, 12-day tour of the Riviera and Provence that is based on her novels. Her award winning 2010 debut novel, The Bridge Club, is a book club favorite. The Promise of Provence, which launched her three-part Love in Provence series was a finalist for a 2013 USA Best Book Award and a 2014 National Indie Excellence Award, an Amazon Hot New Release in April 2013, and a 2015 nominee for a #RBRT Golden Rose award in the category of romance.

Drawing Lessons, Sands’ fifth novel, also set in the south of France, was released by Lake Union Publishing in 2017 and was a Finalist in the Somerset Literary Book Award 2019. The Villa des Violettes miniseries released in 2019/20 and Book 4 is anticipated in 2023.

Her new novel, The Secrets We Hide, is scheduled for release May/June 2022. She is also busy writing a novella, LostAt Sea, to be included in the nine-book SailAway series that will publish in January 2023.
