Pat Whitaker was born in England in 1946 and came to New Zealand aged four. Apart from five years in his twenties spent traveling the globe, has lived there ever since. After a fairly rudimentary education, he found work as an Architectural Designer and this became a life-long occupation. He first began writing in 2006 on becoming semi-retired. He has a deep interest in the technology of space exploration, and has an extensive library on the subject. When reading for pleasure, he has a preference for science-fiction or classic detective stories in the Agatha Christie mould.
