Pam McWilliams
Pam McWilliams got hooked on Nancy Drew as a young girl and never
stopped reading. She graduated to Agatha Christie, P.D. James, and the
wider world of great literature, but mystery – her first love – remains her
passion and became her writer’s muse. Lots of living happened first.
She chose business writing initially because she thought she lacked
imagination. These days she’s bombarded by story ideas every time she
picks up the newspaper, waits in a carpool line, or sits in the stands at a
football game.
After working briefly as a feature writer for a small town paper, she moved
to Manhattan to spend a decade in the business world – writing, posturing,
traveling. One day she got talked into a sales job at a Wall Street brokerage
firm. Temperamentally she was unsuited to work on a trading floor, but she
remembers the insanity, the greed, the giant personalities - it was there
that she discovered the simple joy of observing other people. She married
and had two children, and one day she woke up with a big imagination.
She started to write fiction and couldn’t stop. Today as she adds to her
eclectic collection of short stories, works on her contemporary young adult
mystery series (an ode to Nancy Drew), and fleshes out the plot of her first
adult mystery novel, she wonders, is one lifetime enough? www.
