From playing endless pretend games with her childhood friends to creating complex situations for her many Barbies, Pamela loved creating worlds of her own.
She wrote her first novel with scented markers in the first grade. Since then, she’s penned many poems, short stories, and a few novels. Pamela’s novels often include characters being thrown into unfamiliar worlds, likely inspired by some of her all-time favorite movies from childhood/adolescence - Never Been Kissed, Legally Blonde, and Overboard. Sometimes she even includes a hint of magic, as in her soon-to-be-released debut, Skye, Revised.
In addition to writing fiction, Pamela is an experienced copywriter and journalist. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Creative Writing from Missouri State University and a Masters from the University of Missouri School of Journalism. She enjoys interviewing real people almost as much as the ones in her head and uses her experiences to create new characters. Pamela’s non-fiction has been featured in a variety of magazines and her short fiction has received an honorable mention in the Women on Writing Flash Fiction Contest.
Pamela currently lives in the Kansas City area. You can find her reading, writing, or attempting (usually unsuccessfully) to fit in a workout while playing with her two young children. Stay up-to-date on Pamela’s latest news and subscribe to her newsletter at pamelamahajan.comview less
