She is passionate about people and has travelled the world, she spent 70 years living a colourful 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 honouring my ancestors. They have no voice, so I will make sure their stories are heard.”

Pat Backley has published 8 books, a mix of 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.
