About Me

I write in Milwaukee, WI, but often gravitate to New England (the homeland :-) ) in my stories. My flash, short stories and poetry have appeared in Grey Sparrow Press, The Potomac Review, The MacGuffin, elimae, Marquette Literary Review and other print and electronic venues. Among those listed are three excerpts from my novel in progress.

I tweet @PamWrites and can also be found on Facebook and goodreads. I occasionally am also on Shewrites, Quora and Redroom. Happiest though if you stop by my blog where I give tips on overcoming fear of rejection, prompt writes and more. Have a gander. :-)

Any favorite authors? Books?

Favorite authors? Marilynne Robinson, Home and Gilead; Orhan Pamuk, Snow; Kent Haruf, Plainsong; Elizabeth Strout, Amy and Isabelle Oh, and Raymond Carver, Ernest Hemingway, Jhumpa Lahiri, Antonya Nelson, Robert Boswell, Anne LaMott, Larry Watson, Mary Gordon, Michael Ondaatje, Alan Heathcock And, those not so known to the world yet, but will be, especially Carol Wobig and Kim Suhr.

Hi Pamela, Thanks so much for finding The Dying Tradition. It's a long one, so I really appreciate the read and your kind note.
