About
Jennifer's Pseudonyms
During a career spanning more than 30 years, Jennifer has written under several
pen names and in a variety of genres. She began with Gothic mystery-suspense tales,
writing eight of these for Fawcett Gold Medal and Popular Library as Patricia
Maxwell between 1970 and 1978, as well as a historical romance under that
name in 1977. A single collaborative effort in the Gothic genre, STORM AT MIDNIGHT,
was released in 1973 as Elizabeth Trehearne and, following the decline
of the Gothic market, she wrote a murder mystery and a suspense tale under the
pseudonym of Patricia Ponder. Six light contemporary romances were penned
as Maxine Patrick for New American Library between 1978 and 1980, but the
break out of her first Jennifer Blake title, LOVE'S WILD DESIRE, as a New York
Times Best Seller in 1977, focused her attention on the historical romance market.
Over the next decade, fourteen historicals were produced for Fawcett/Ballantine.
Some of her older titles, originally published under other names, have been reissued
under the Blake pseudonym. They appear in paperback and also in large print and
library hard cover editions. They are currently available online and as print
on demand copies at retail outlets which have this capacity.
