Pam Turnbull is a dedicated lover of history (having a university degree in the subject), and a dedicated reader of historical mystery books.

She has been a librarian, worked in a bookshop, organised book events, spent many years as an editor of computer and education magazines until she finally decided to become a teacher which she has been doing for the last many years.

She lives in the North-West of England with her husband and cat - and grown-up children who always seem to come back. Not that she minds.

Pam has always told stories, often improvised, but she finally decided to use her knowledge of history and her skill with words to weave tales in the genre she loves to read.
