Patricia Kehoe was a gen and het Beauty and the Beast (TV) writer.
According to one reviewer:
The word "prolific" was invented just for Trisha Kehoe! Writer, editor, - she did it all, wrote it all, and lived to tell about it! A brief survey of her work as writer and editor will illustrate the point: the Vincent's World anthology series, Coming Out of the Dark, Walk the World for Me, Rightfully Mine, In Search of Angels, The Heart's Best Treasure, Passion!, and White Cover. [1]
Kehoe passed in 2006 after a short illness. Shortly before her death she as part of the 2006 Winterfest:
I seem to work strictly on instinct or gut reaction, call it what you will. If a particular subject "grabs" me, I write from that premise. I've always loved books, and devoured them whenever I could scrounge the time. Then I found fandom and fanzines. On that day, a new world lay before me, ready to be explored. Some of the books/stories were very well done, and others left me wanting to change just about everything I'd read! Vincent with a tail, with a...a... retractable penis, and he shed like a great big cat? What?! Catherine was dead? No! No way! Not in my world! So, taking a deep breath and summoning up the courage, I crossed the threshold. Plunking my fanny down in front of my trusty old typewriter, I began to draft my first Tunnel story. And the rest, as it's said, is history.[2]
Fan Comments
Trish was an old, old Ron Perlman fan. She went to New York to see his plays and was a member of a fan group called "Perlman's Posse". She remained loyal to him for the rest of her life. She joined the fandom at the beginning and remained through the "third season wars", when many people left the fandom entirely.
Although her health was not good during the last few years, she regularly joined in on BATB projects, and added her voice to whatever controversy was happening on BBTV mailing list through her tart comments.
She had a clever mind and a sharp tongue; people who entered into argument with her tended to come out second best. We're familiar with her very sharp sense of humor through her fiction, which was like no one else's - one could recognize her style even without her name at the top of the page. She wrote of Vincent and Catherine from an individual viewpoint, with humor and passion.
We'll miss her voice and her humor; one of the first and most loyal of Beauty and the Beast fans is gone. [3]
