Pat Skillicorn was born and educated on the Isle of Man. She takes her inspiration from family stories, Manx culture and from the island itself. She was brought up in Ballasalla and now lives in Peel.
Order Wave to Your DaddyPat Skillicorn's first book, Wave to your Daddy, was published in 2006. It evokes a changing Isle of Man from the 19th to the 21st century as seen through experiences of one Manx family and received critical acclaim on its publication. A combination of autobiography and family memoir, it provides a lyrical but unsentimental account of a universal childhood but with a specifically Manx identity.
