Jackie Patricks started writing fiction when she was 15, and like most aspiring writers, thought her work terrible, immature, cliched drivel. But she kept at it, even going to college for her creative writing degree before she understood how useless such degrees tend to be for real world applications. she also got used to the typical reject letters. Eventually, she needed annoying things like food, clothing and rent, so she got a real job and ended up finishing her degree in paramedicine. Since then, she's gained 19+ years of experience as a paramedic, and that's after joining the army which paid for her degree. Of course, becoming a medic and honing skills takes a lot of energy, so her writing got derailed for many years but never forgotten. Then a wonderful thing happened. she woke up one morning with the fire to write fiction again. Sure, she had written plenty of medical reports. she had been published online by writing medical articles and was paid to write for a crafts blog, but hadn't felt the particular desire to write fiction in nearly a decade.

Beautiful Riddle was written as, slowly, Pierre recounted to Bérénice the events of the ten years he had spent by Suzy’s side. "It was like pulling teeth," she says. "Getting Pitou to open his heart was a painful, if cathartic, experience. Having watched him as he spoke, I feel certain that this is the true story of what happened to them.... at least, to the extent of Robert Evan's definition of 'the truth.' Bob once said: 'There are three sides to every story: my side, your side and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently.' I thought of that as I wrote.”
