title: Blood Pearls: A Tale of Intrigue, Romance and Murder
author: Pat Booth Lynch
description: Pat Booth Lynch considers her life a true adventure. She's discovered the joy of traveling to exotic places, engaged in a rewarding corporate career, developed talents that have expanded her horizons, raised a talented daughter, Kyle, and has been married to a dynamo of a husband Jack, who has made the journey seem like a trip to a candy store. Currently, while living in Florida, she's involved in writing thriller novels, namely Blood Pearls and Blood Image as well as short stories that have won awards, some of which are highlighted in an anthology titled, Tales to tease the senses. When she's not pounding our provocative stories or managing her Ease-on Apparel Corporation, you'll find her traveling to those far away places with the strange sounding names in search of that next adventure.
