Patricia Sands lives two hours north of Toronto, but her heart's other home is the South of France. She spends part of each year on the Cote d'Azur and once a year leads a women-only tour of the Riviera and Provence based on her novels. Her award-winning 2010 debut novel, The Bridge Club, is a book club favorite. The Promise of Provence, which launched her three-part Love in Provence series was a finalist for a 2013 USA Best Book Award and a 2014 National Indie Excellence Award, an Amazon Hot New Release in April 2013, and a 2015 nominee for a #RBRT Golden Rose award in the category of romance. Book Two, Promises to Keep, and Book Three, I Promise You This. This trilogy was published by Lake Union Publishing.

Drawing Lessons, Sands’ fifth novel, also set in the south of France, was released by Lake Union Publishing on October 1, 2017 and a finalist in the Chanticleer Somerset Literary Fiction Awards. Her new 3-volume mini-series, The Villa des Violettes, is now available on Amazon and Kobo, including in a new kindle boxset and paperback Complete Collection.

In December 2020, Sands published The Bridge Club Tenth Anniversary Edition, with revised content and a new Epilogue.
