Writing

After her article about the conference was rejected, Papazoglou sat down and began to write the first Patience McKenna novel, Sweet, Savage Death. She would eventually write five McKenna novels, under her real name, between 1984 and 1990.

Between 1983 and 1988, Papazoglou wrote six romance novels. Four were published under the name Nicola Andrews for Jove's Second Chance at Love line, and two were published by Pocket Books under the name Ann Paris.
