Humble
Beginnings
March
12, 1988, Pamela hit a crisis point in her life. It was her
birthday. She lay in her bed in tears, crying to her husband
that she was getting older and life was passing her by. "I
could have been a writer!" After what seemed hours of trying
to comfort her, her husband set up a table and a computer in
the corner of their bedroom and said, "There. Write your
blank book or shut the blank up about it."
The
Writer
When
Pamela Morsi stepped into the world of publishing in 1991 with
her first book Heaven Sent, she received immediate attention
from both readers and industry leaders across the country. Since
then, she has delivered nothing less than one bestseller after
another. Her engaging story lines and distinct writing style
have consistently placed her books on both the mass market charts
and the romance bestseller lists at USA Today, Waldenbooks and
Barnes & Noble.
Trademark
wit and first rate humor set Pamela apart in the industry. Straight
from the Heartland of America, Pam spins heartwarming stories
of Small Town USA. Critics say that Morsi is an expert at crafting
genuine characters that simply come alive with down-home charm.
With
a perfect balance of sweet innocence and earthy passion, Pamela's
books recapture the essence of rural America in the days of
carousels, country dances and the simple pleasures—home, church,
strong family values—and she records with amusing accuracy
the delightful scandals that cause small town gossips to roar.
Family
Life
In
1996 Pam's husband and best friend, who'd encouraged her writing
and shown steadfast support, passed away after a long illness.
In March of 2002 she married for the second time. Bill is a
retired geophysicist who builds furniture, makes pottery, weaves
rugs, and lately has taken up proofreading long manuscripts
with lots of misspelled words. Pam declares herself the luckiest
woman alive. "Two great guys in one lifetime. I'm sure
I never deserved this."
As
a team, Pam and Bill claim six children and four grandchildren.
