Pat has always been interested in writing, but never seemed to get around to it until a few years ago. She completed a Diploma in Creative Writing at Curtin Uni and got involved in the Perth writing community where she has been an editor for dotdotdash magazine and works for the Fellowship of Australian Writers Western Australia (FAWWA).
She has published both poetry and short stories. At the time of writing she is working with writer and free lance editor, Lisa Litjens, on a full length novel about a clash of wills with mining at its heart. With a working title of Black River Red Sky, the story involves a young, flawed and idealistic environmental activist who is trying to prevent mining on a Kimberley station, where the owner has been badly hit by the GFC and needs to get income from anywhere to keep the property going.
The next step, finding the right publisher, will involve learning a whole new skill set.
