As a romance novelist, Wiseman has been called a 'master of the unexpected twist' who produces contagious storylines. In 'An Unlikely Arrangement', three lives intertwine through the differing worlds of high society, middle-class life, and organized crime, culminating in an engagement, a kidnapping, a misunderstanding and a murder. The story is set in 1929 Detroit.

"It is an absolute thrill to 1st be chosen as a finalist and then actually voted by the public to be included in the 2012 top 50 Winners. When I initially interviewed on The Author Show I never dreamed anything like this would ever come of it. To be listed as a winner with such elite company is a highlight for me and my career. What a wonderful experience. Many thanks to The Author Show."

Patty Wiseman is the daughter of a WWII Navy vet who survived Pearl Harbor. She was raised in Washington State, attended The Wesleyan College in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, then moved to Northeast Texas where she has resided for over 30 years.

There are two more in the works. One is a romantic comedy. Her most recent award is a 2012 Roughdraft short story contest where she placed 2nd.

"I wrote this book," continued Ms. Wiseman, "because of my fascination with the era that redefined modern womanhood, The Roaring Twenties. There is mystery, mayhem, and murder - all written in such a way as to keep the reader guessing. My love of this era comes to life with the rebellion of a character based on the true story of a woman who wants to break free of the mold others have established. Her innocence is shattered when she makes a drastic decision that changes the way she sees the world in 1929."
