Patricia Keats…writer of historical fiction set in 19th century Paris…..

I’m Patricia Keats and I love to travel, read and write. I’m inspired by the places and people I’ve seen.

I have been a librarian, a museum educator, an art history professor, an exhibition curator and researcher. My work in research libraries, special collections and art museums has led me to love original documents, diaries, ephemera, newspapers and journals from long ago. My background in European history, the French language, and the art of Europe – from the Middle Ages through the early 20th century – all fuel my writing and interests…as well as my visits to Paris.
