For business inquiries or questions, please email <a href="mailto:patty@pattyloof.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">patty@pattyloof.com</a>Hi, I'm Patty. Welcome!I write dark, realistic, multi-layered, action-filled, character-driven, diverse fiction - set in the future.Red Dog Conspiracy follows a 22-year-old mafia wife turned private eye named Jacqueline Spadros. At the start of the story, Jacqui does nothing more dangerous than finding cats and following philanderers - but she soon finds herself in the middle of a case which threatens to destroy her.Gender-flipped detective noir meets The Godfather trilogy, set in a future steampunk dystopia.You can solve the mystery of the Red Dog Conspiracy entirely from <a href="https://pattyloof.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the print series</a>.However, there are also clues (and a great deal of backstory) <a href="http://www.jacqofspades.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">on my website</a>, and on <a href="http://red-dog-conspiracy.tumblr.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">various</a> social media <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/ediblelandesign/the-jacq-of-spades/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">formats</a>. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?patAmt=1&amp;u=2574239" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Patrons get other clues</a>. You may find clues <a href="https://app.convertkit.com/landing_pages/38486" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">in my newsletter</a>. A stage play is in the works. I'm creating a graphic novel of Morton's side of the story.
