Patricia Holland

Patricia Holland was born in Liverpool, England, but has lived in Australia since the age of five, in Melbourne and on farms and cattle stations in Central and North Queensland. She now teaches at a secondary college and lives in a coastal town near Yeppoon in Central Queensland. Patricia’s publi­cations include journ­alism art­icles in magazines and newspapers; short stories in Idiom 23 Literary Magazine; and a children’s book, Patch the Australian Cattle Dog (1999), which won a regional education award.

The Styx is Patricia’s first novel, and is dedicated to the memory of her eldest daughter, Sophie, who suffered from Rett Syndrome and died when she was seven years old. Earlier drafts of the manuscript were selected for Hachette’s Manuscript Development Program in 2015 and Legend Press’s Luke Bitmead Bursary in which it placed third in 2016.
