About the Author

Patricia Lynne is the author of Young Adult Paranormal, Fantasy, and Sci-Fi books. She actually never set out to become a writer, and in fact, she was more interested in art and band in high school and college. On a whim, she wrote down a story bouncing in her head and began learning all she could about writing. That was the start of it,and she hasn't regretted a moment. When she's not writing, she's watching Doctor Who or reading about serial killers. She's an avid knitter. One can never have too much yarn. She writes New Adult Urban Fantasy and Sci-Fi Romance under the name Patricia Josephine.

Patricia lives with her husband in Michigan, hopes one day to have what will resemble a small petting zoo, and has a fondness for dying her hair the colors of the rainbow.

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    If you asked Patricia to describe herself, she’d tell you, “Too creative for my own good.”

    A paranormal and fantasy junkee, she loves to craft young adult and new adult stories about vampires, mermaids, angels, demons, zombies, and other mythical monsters. Aliens might even appear in her stories.

    Patricia started writing in 2012. She was bored and since she was always day dreaming stories, she thought, “Why not share them?” She's still deciding if that was a mistake or not. Since then, she has finished a dozen stories and has no plans to stop.

    You can find her young adult novels and short stories under Patricia Josephine Lynne and her adult novels under Patricia Josephine.

    When she’s not lost writing in fantasy worlds, she relaxes with knitting, drawing and art, and jigsaw puzzles. And of course, a good book. Patricia currently lives with her husband in Upper Michigan. One day, they both hope to have enough pets to resemble a petting zoo. (Until then, can she pet your cat or dog?)

5.0 out of 5 stars A huge variety in easy to read portions
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2020

This is a perfect book to grab up a few minutes of vampire, zombie or werewolf fun. Each tale is only about a page long (200 words), which makes it fun to simply glance at a tale before heading on to whatever else life offers. While the book is divided into three themes (vampires, zombies and werewolves), each tale is very original and has its own flare.

Not only was the variety a treat...because I really never knew what to expect next....but the writing was almost always solid. Two hundred words isn't a long tale, but the author manages to make each character and situation interesting and leaves crumbs for thought. It was fun to pick this up and dive into a few tales each time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most interesting paranormal/dark fantasy books I've read in a while.
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2020

This is one of the most interesting paranormal/dark fantasy books I've read in a while. This is a collection of short stories, and I mean short as in 200 words, that packs a lot of punch.

This collection takes the central creature theme, focusing on Vampires, Werewolves, and Zombies and blends it with elements of mystery, romance, humor, and more. While there are some humorous moments, overall, this feels like a very serious read. Not to be taken too seriously, but to get the reader really thinking about perception and expectation, what good fiction should do all the time.

Kudos to the author for putting so much depth into so few words. This was very entertaining.

Highly recommended to fans of paranormal, dark fantasy, creatures, and short stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Stories for a Quick Reading Snack
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2020

Each story is the perfect length of 200 words for a nice quick reading snack for readers who don't have much time to read. Out of the three parts (Vampires, Werewolves, and Zombies), I enjoyed the vampire stories the most. At the same time, I thought the zombie stories were the most unique, and I felt bad for werewolves and everything they have to deal with (bonding to their mate, the transformation, etc). Overall, I enjoyed this collection of stories. I recommend it to vampire lovers, werewolf lovers, and zombie lovers.

This book completely pulled me in! I really enjoyed the format of 200-word stories. These are fascinating snippets from a variety of viewpoints.

From spooky to serious to silly to thought-provoking to heart-felt, you'll find it all in these snippets.

I'm a reader who reads because of the emotions in the words and A Quick Bite is full of emotion and a fun read!

This is a great collection of short paranormal stories. The flash fiction format is fun to read, and each story has an interesting twist. There's a little horror, a bit of dry humor, and where would we be without some quick romance!

I really enjoyed this entertaining selection of stories! Each one was just right for a short read, the kind you can sink your teeth into during a coffee break or waiting in line. I appreciate the skill it takes to write a short stories that deliver.

5.0 out of 5 stars She's still a better writer than me
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2020
Patricia Lynne/Josephine's new book is a delightful collection of very short tales of mythical creatures. I had no idea what to expect from this going in, I picked it up simply on the author's name alone as I am a big fan.

(side note: I am amused to no end that Patricia Lynne and Patricia Josephine's author photos appear to be the same photo just from different angles.)

I was pleasantly surprised, as not only was the writing up to her usual (exceptional) standards, but the flash fiction format was a wonderful way to get so much quick, tasty literary treats. It was like going to a buffet and sampling a bit of everything. I especially enjoyed the zombie section - vampires usually just come off as overly sensitive drama club kids to me (my personal bias, no offence to the author), but a good zombie story, especially one from the zombie's point of view, is *Chef's Kiss.* Patricia has several of such good stories in A Quick Bite.

The flash fiction format is deceptively complex. Sure, it's only a few hundred words, but to set a scene, a mood, establish a character and conflict and still pull of a neat twist or hook in such a limited space is astonishing, and Patricia does it here dozens of times. Not a word is wasted, and her tight, clean writing style is perfect for this format. Hats off to both talented ladies.

I highly recommend A Quick Bite, not just for paranormal fans of zombies/werewolves/vampires, but for anyone who appreciates skilled, efficient and engaging writing. Whether you read just one or two stories or the whole book in one sitting, I can almost guarantee you'll find something you enjoy.

Vampires, zombies, and werewolves, oh my!

This is a wonderful collection of very short stories involving those three supernatural creatures. We get various kinds of them too. Some stories are from the monster's point of view and some from the human's. All varied and each as delicious as the last. If your own little monsters at home keep interrupting your reading time, this is great to have!
