Pam has loved books for as long as she can remember, so, in retrospect, it seems only natural that she eventually became an author. Her path to publication was not a straight one, however. After graduating from college with a degree in Advertising, she merrily set off to earn a living as a graphic designer, print buyer, model, waitress, pantyhose salesperson, public relations specialist, advertising copywriter, and finally freelance writer. The idea of writing a book crossed her mind at age 27, so she sat down and wrote the beginning and the ending, finally giving up when she realized she had no clue what to do with the other 300 pages. 

It wasn’t until five years later, then the mother of a newborn, that she decided to try her hand at writing a book again. It might have been the combination of changing diapers, working from the house as a freelancer, and writing a video script about motors and drives — or it might have been because she’s a hopeless romantic — but whatever the reason, one afternoon when the baby was asleep she started writing a novel. Convinced she had penned the next international bestseller, Pam quickly surmised from the swift flood of rejection letters she received that she had plenty to learn about the craft of novel writing. That first book, while it holds a special place in her heart, is now buried deep in the attic, never to see the light of day. 

Pam’s second book finaled in several contests, including the Romance Writers of America’s prestigious Golden Heart contest and the Maggie’s. But, alas, it, too, found only a home in the attic. Proving the old adage true — three’s a charm — it was Pam’s third book, OH BABY!, also a Golden Heart finalist, that became her first sale and was published in December 2004 by Harlequin Superromance. Since then, Pam has written several other books for Superromance, garnering praise and awards along the way.

Pam lives in Wisconsin with her three daughters and a hyperactive Malty-Poo who made an appearance in THE WEDDING HEIRESS as a poodle named Blue. Pam keeps threatening to write a serious novel, but every time she tries, some silly characters take control of the story and soon all matter of mayhem and foolishness is happening on the pages again.
