Patricia McBride is an author of heartwarming World War II sagas featuring fierce female friendships. She resides in Cambridge, England with her husband. When not writing, Patricia enjoys curling up with a cup of tea and books about strong woman in war time. Patricia's latest series follows the adventures of three librarians living and working in London's impoverished East End during the Blitz. The first book, The Library Girls of the East End, introduces posh Lady Cordelia Carmichael, bold Mavis and more timid Jane. Despite their differences, the three band together to keep their beloved library running amidst food rationing, air raids, and family troubles. And of course, romance. The idea for the series came from Patricia's own mother, who was a cockney and told her many tales of her life during WW2. She always marvelled at the resilience and community spirit that blossomed in times of strife. Patricia's other popular WWII series features the courageous Lily Baker. Lily and her Welsh friend Bronwyn join the the Auxiliary Territorial Service. The bold duo are thrilled to serve their country, but discover it's not all excitement. They must overcome challenges like gruelling training, traitors, and the loss of comrades. But their friendship, courage, and devotion to duty see them through. Growing up, Patricia adored listening to family stories about the war. This fuelled her interest in capturing the bravery and sacrifice of the British people on the home front. Patricia is an active member of both the Romantic Novelists' Association and the Historical Writers' Association. Patricia is excited to join the Boldwood Books family and bring more gripping World War II sagas to readers in the coming years. Watch for the next instalments in her Librarian Girls series.
