Pamela grew up in Yorkshire, moving to the home counties
with parents in her teens. Until her early twenties, she worked
in London departments stores and as a nurse at St. George's
hospital.
After spending several years as a stay-at-home mom, Pamela
studied for a degree in English at Reading University,
followed by technical and non-technical editing posts for
some years. More recently, she taught ballroom and Latin
American dancing in partnership with her husband John, for
local authorities and independently. This came to an end in
2008, when John was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
