Who This Author Is

Pat Mora has enough depth here to be more than a raw catalog rollup. This page pulls together 46 catalog-linked books across 1984 to 2022, which makes it easier to separate the strongest starting points from the noisier editions. The clearest lane here leans toward Fantasy & Sci-Fi.

Best for readers who want imaginative settings, series momentum, and clearer jumping-in spots. If you want the easiest first click, start with Agua Santa/Holy Water (Camino Del Sol) and branch outward from there. UPB note: the strongest documented run here lands between 1984 to 2022; the most common copies on this page tend to come from Clarion Books and Lee & Low Books.
