After an earlier career spent working and travelling around the world including stints as cook on an outback cattle station interpreter on expedition in Cameroon and English teacher in Jakarta Pamela stumbled into writing as a way of funding a PhD in Medieval Studies. Settling at last in York for several years she combined academic research with a successful career as a romance writer. Her thesis on the streets of later medieval and early modern York was finally completed in 2004 and she continues to work (very slowly) on a scholarly edition of the wardmote court records that formed the basis of her research. The Memory of Midnight is her second novel based on her study of Elizabethan York and written under her real name. Time's Echo was her first.
