WHO IS PATRICIA BREMMER?

Patricia A. Bremmer, born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, has had a passion for mysteries and word puzzles since childhood, when she devoured every Perry Mason book she could find. She rarely left a word scramble unsolved in the Omaha World-Herald paper during elementary school. Her fondness for libraries and bookstores never waned. Bremmer traveled across the United States with a stable of thoroughbred racehorses for fifteen years before taking her experiences and settling down to a quiet place in western Nebraska. In 2024 she moved back to Omaha.

 

Bremmer collaborated with a screenplay writer to write her first novel, Tryst With Dolphins. She did so out of pure frustration with so many unbelievable mystery stories in film and print full of, I would never do that or that would never happen moments, where reality gets lost and clues for the reader never exist.

 

After the success of her first novel, Bremmer penned a sequel titled Dolphins' Echo. Her third book, Death Foreshadowed, cemented the role of her sleuth, Detective Glen Karst. Victim Wanted: Must Have References, the fourth book in her series, brings Detective Karst's personal life to center stage.

 

As a source of insider humor, Bremmer has used the names and likenesses of people she has met during her travels across the U.S.  She is often asked if a particular character is meant to be a mutual acquaintance, to which Bremmer only replies, "Maybe"! All of Bremmer's mystery novels contain an Elusive Clue word puzzle hidden somewhere in the book. The puzzle is varied in each book, but when the letters are unscrambled, it names the murderer.

 

Bremmer is a multi-genre author.  She has nine books in her Elusive Clue mystery series, one thriller, one children's picture book, two middle grade adventure/mysteries, one book on dog care, and one spiritual book.  

 

Bremmer is complimented often for her unique writing style. She writes with a quick stride, keeping the story alive and the characters hopping. Light mystery readers can breeze through the books in a weekend, while the desires of serious mystery purists will be quenched with a plot that challenges the mind. Either way, Bremmer's fans are always satisfied with this new approach to the solvable whodunits.

 

Bremmer is the mother of three. She has ten grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Together with her husband, Martin, they owned and operated a dog kennel (a childhood dream). She has shown, trained, and raised dogs for over fifty years. They also manufacture and sell GrainGoats to farmers for grain sampling.

 

Bremmer took a break from writing to help her husband with his invention of the GrainGoat.  Her writing evolved from books to grant writing and now back to books.  Two new books are slated to be released in 2025 and 2026.  One is a middle-grade/young adult time travel book, Hoke, and the other is another Christmas picture book, Just Take One Please.
