The combination of its beautiful natural heritage and multi-cultural diversity--the Scots, Irish, English, German, Mennonite, and Amish settled this vibrant area--plays a major role in forming the characterizations and settings for her works of historical fiction that are primarily set in Canada. Traveling and writing provide her with endless ideas for scenarios, time periods, and characters for those works of fiction that are set "away." Pat Mattaini Mestern has authored twelve books, her favourite genre being historical fiction. She also writes travel, lifestyle, and local history columns for a variety of national and international publications.
