In 1971, she published her first book The Last Centennial, a set of three short novels that take place in a Montana town during the 1970s. She became proficient enough that she was the fourth woman to finish the 1970 Boston Marathon. While there, she wrote her first gay novel, a chronicle of the illicit relationship between a Spanish bullfighter and a peasant during the fascist regime of Spain (she would publish the book in 2001 under the title The Wild Man). For a few years in the 1960s, Reader's Digest stationed her in Spain. She began writing professionally when she was a teenager in the 1950s, and later landed a job at Reader's Digest where she worked as a copy editor, 1959-1964, and book editor, 1964-1980. Patricia Nell Warren was born in 1936 and grew up on the Grant Kohrs cattle ranch near Deer Lodge, Montana.
