'''Patricia Veryan''' is the pen name of ''Patricia Valeria Veryan Berg, neé Bannister'' (b. 1923). Growing up in London, she moved to the United States after WWII and later married a Californian she had met while working for the occupation forces in Frankfurt, Germany. She has written stories since she was able to read and write. While raising her two children she tried without success selling scripts for television.

In 1977 a friend urged her to start writing books and in 1978 her first novel, ''[[The Lord And The Gypsy]]'', was published. Although set in the [[Regency]], it is not a traditional [[Regency Romance]], but a [[Historical Romance|historical]] with a diligently researched background. Another hallmark of the author is to group her novels around four "core" series by using the same personnel - often enough thus linking the "series". No book is without links and her fans have dedicated a lot of web pages to the appearance of characters in which function in which novel.

According to her [http://www.eskimo.com/~neads/veryan/index.html official Fan Club] she retired from writing due to failing eyesight. Her last novel, ''[[The Riddle Of The Deplorable Dandy]]'', was released in 2002.
