Pat Hicks
Pat Hicks is a fifth generation Texan and an author whose work explores the stories families carry — spoken and unspoken — and the deeper truths that shape who we become. His debut work of narrative nonfiction, My Name Is a Lie and Other Truths, chronicles the shattering revelation that reshaped his understanding of his past and the people who shaped it. Readers describe his writing as “eloquent,” “beautifully written,” “profoundly moving,” and “hard to put down,” praising his ability to communicate and engage the reader on a level “that stays with you long after the last page” with honesty, clarity, and emotional depth. Pat is currently developing new work that traces his ancestral roots through Scotland, Ireland, and England — uncovering the histories, landscapes, and lives that formed the people who formed him. He lives in Dallas, where he continues to write and connect with readers navigating their own journeys of discovery.
