Patricia V. Davis (born March 1956) is an American novelist and non-fiction writer.

Patricia V. Davis (born Patricia Tafalu)[2] is a first generation Italian-American New Yorker[3] and is a graduate of Queens College, Flushing, NY. She was a student at Long Island University CW Post, Brookville, NY, where she added to her existing Master's Degree in Creative Writing and Education. [4]

She married a Greek national and moved with him to Athens, Greece, where she lived for seven years before returning to the U.S..[5] Their tumultuous relationship, divorce, and her eventual empowerment lead to her memoir: Harlot's Sauce: a Memoir of Food, Family, Love and Loss and Greece. [6]

When a blog post she had written went viral, her second non-fiction book was born, The Diva Doctrine: 16 Universal Principles Every Woman Needs to Know.[7] The book covers everything from appearance, parenthood, break ups with friends, and relating to men. Diva Doctrine is not a self-help book, but rather a collection of lessons the author learned personally. [8]

Davis was invited to attend a women's conference by Maria Shriver, and the only available hotel room was on the RMS Queen Mary. Her experience aboard the ship was the inspiration for her first novel, Cooking for Ghosts; Book I of the Secret Spice Cafe Trilogy.[9] This book is the story of four diverse women that meet online and decide to open a restaurant together aboard the historic RMS Queen Mary.[10] It's about food, ghosts, friends, "and long-ago losses that never quite go away." [11]

Patricia V. Davis met her husband online. In their blended family, she has one son, filmmaker Niko Volonakis, and he has four (one now deceased).[12]
