Pam lives in North County Dublin, close to the sea, sharing her office (whether she likes it or not!) with two cats, Bertie (Bertie Wooster) and Pip (Pippin the hobbit, of course), and a mad doggie PA who goes by the name of Molly (who is, Pam is convinced, part kangaroo!). Her debut novel, The Bowes Inheritance, was awarded the B.R.A.G Medallion; shortlisted for the Carousel Aware Prize 2016; and longlisted for the Historical Novel Society 2016 Indie Award. She has two popular series; The Lucy Lawrence Mysteries featuring a Victorian amateur sleuth, and the Sarah Gillespie WW2 series.
