always dreamed of becoming an author. She decided to put her story on paper when her now ex-
husband was arrested in February 2003. This turned her family upside down. Pamela and her family

were devastated. Her family did not know what to do and the prison system does not come with
instructions. She lost everything. Her and her family was hit with the harsh reality of life when one of
your family members goes to prison.
On Saturday, May 23rd 2009 it changed Pamela’s life. She became a published author. Pamela has
been writing all of her life. But when your world of emotions, pain, sadness, become public it is an
indescribable feeling. You are letting the world into your world. That is what being an author is to me.
Creating your world as you see, feel and experience it and allowing people in to experience how you see
the world. You are allowing the world to know you on an intimate level.
