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.

Having been relocated to the Village over the last 55 years, these historic buildings need some attention so that future generations can enjoy them and our collection of artifacts from the early Pioneering days in the Silverdale District.
Volunteers have opened up the access to the building foundations in preparation for Engineers to begin the process of repiling.
Keep an eye out on our Website and Facebook Page as we progress the refurbishment over the next few months.
Any donations or sponsorship towards the very high cost of doing this work will be gratefully received and our bank account details are on our web site.
