Books by Patrice Chaplin

An autobiography focusing on Patrice Chaplin's youth and relationship to Girona and the charismatic poet Jose Tarres.

Working with the charity, Northern Bridge Productions, using creativity against addiction, we realised how often people needed a safe place and are afraid they won’t get it, go the other way, taking on The Edge and all its variables. Safe can be a thought, a memory; that goes for all kinds of people with lives that addiction does not touch. By chance, the subject of writing a short story came up in a park in North London after a concert. ‘Writing a short story. What a lovely idea. Would never have thought of that.’ I asked unlikely people with busy or well established lives; not one said no. So, all ages and all backgrounds are presented in this book written with pleasure. 

An imaginative portrayal of Lucifer in the modern day.

In this true-life memoir, Patrice Chaplin returns to the ancient city of secrets, Girona. Drawn into a series of adventures, she finally arrives at a secret chapel in an isolated place: the domain of the Stone Cradle. Here, she discovers the secret of Girona and glimpses the truth beyond everyday reality.
