Praised for her “deep historical research” and “deft plotting with a strong emotional core” (Kirkus Reviews) Pamela began writing fiction after a career in news and communications. Born in Massachusetts to an Air Force officer dad and a musical mom, her father’s assignments took the family from Washington D.C. to South America, from New Mexico to Ohio and points in between. Each stop gave Pamela a new prism through which to understand events in history and geopolitics and their effect on the people who live through them.

Pamela began her career in local news, later joining CNN Headline News as a writer/producer at its Atlanta headquarters. After stints anchoring for Headlines and the Airport Channel, and freelancing out of CNN’s Washington Bureau, Pamela moved to corporate and institutional communications. The change created time for her to begin writing fiction to share her love of history and politics.

Pam applies the same tenacity she used as a journalist to ensure details in her historical novels are accurate and illuminating. WAR BONDS earned a 2025 Georgia Author of the Year nomination for debut novel and includes many historical notes from anecdotes and incidents shared by her father, a B-17 bomber pilot who was shot down July 28, 1944 and interned in Sagan, Poland. His prison camp was liberated by Patton’s army as the war drew to a close. Her second novel, THE FLORENTINE ENTANGLEMENT, was published in January 2026. Set in the tense days of the Cold War, the story interweaves the 1960 downing of the U-2 surveillance plane with the unraveling marriage of the CIA officer in charge of the mission. Pamela’supcoming book, PROVIDENCIA, follows an American family in Chile around the time of the 1973 coup.

A lifelong singer, Pam enjoys making music and performing with her guitar-playing husband, rooting for the Atlanta Braves and her alma mater, the University of Virginia, and lingering over discursive dinners to chew over ideas from every angle. She and her husband live in Atlanta, Georgia where Pam’s writing is interrupted every day at noon by their two barking dogs, taken by surprise once again by the arrival of the mail carrier.
