Patricia McBride

Step into wartime London with bestselling saga author Patricia McBride.

Patricia writes uplifting World War II fiction filled with courage, friendship, and the extraordinary strength of ordinary women. Her heartfelt stories celebrate the resilience of communities during one of history’s most challenging times.

Living in Cambridge, England with her husband, Patricia loves nothing more than curling up with a book about brave wartime women — always with a comforting cup of tea close by.

Her newest series, The Petticoat Lane Girls, follows three determined women struggling with love, loss, family secrets, and the daily hardships of wartime London. Inspired by Patricia’s own mother — a proud Cockney who lived through the war — the series brings to life the spirit, humour, and determination of women on the home front.

Patricia is also the author of the much-loved Library Girls series, along with another wartime saga featuring Lily Baker and Bronwyn. Across all her books, she shines a light on friendship, courage, and the powerful bonds that help people survive even the darkest days.

Patricia’s passion for storytelling began with family memories of the war — stories that revealed the quiet bravery and sacrifice of ordinary people. Now publishing with Boldwood Books, she continues to bring these moving wartime sagas to readers around the world.
