"One of the sharpest minds and clearest voices writing today."
Hugh Howey, New York Times bestselling author of WOOL

"Fitzgerald has an eye for nuance, deftly striking chords that will resonate with readers for days."
Jason Gurley, bestselling author of Eleanor

"Fitzgerald's sharp and evocative prose pulls the reader into her stories."
Rysa Walker, author of Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Grand Prize Winner Timebound

"Her stories are strong, her characters vibrant, and her imagination comes to life for her readers."
Ann Christy, USA Today bestselling author of the Strikers trilogy

"I Dream of PIA was an astonishing-and hilarious-look at one man's encounter with a unique A.I. in the form of his very own Personal Intelligence Assistant. It's a triumphant Hilaire Belloc meets Isaac Asimov moment, unique, uplifting.
Patrice hit another homerun in my third anthology The Alien Chronicles, with Hanging with Humans, an uproarious look at what happens when an intergalactic gameshow sends one of its contestants to the exotic planet Earth-to experience a prom.
And then, for The A.I. Chronicles, she delivered Piece of Cake, which imagined a questionable utopia whose balance was governed by strict rules-on who to marry, how much to exercise, and, in order to maintain the ideal weight, how much cake you're allowed to eat.
It was what I had come to realize was quintessential Fitzgerald, a Douglas Adams-level tour-de-force of semi-seriousness and absolute levity, an amazing voice."
Samuel Peralta, USA Today bestselling author and producer of The Future Chronicles series.
