She is passionate about people and has traveled the world, she spent 70 years living a colorful and interesting life, and her books reflect these passions.
She has always been fascinated by social history and the lives of ordinary people and believes their stories should be told. “It is a way of honoring my ancestors. They have no voice, so I will make sure their stories are heard.”
Pat Backley has published 8 books, including historical fiction, memoirs, travel, ancestry, and one little self-help book! She also contributes short stories to anthologies and articles to magazines, has co-hosted a virtual book fair, and talks in schools as a volunteer for Inspiring the Future Aotearoa.
