Pamela McMonagle loves telling stories, is an incurable romantic and is a writer of novels, short stories, children's stories and poetry and is a creator of unique products.
When she was eight, her father bought her a tennis racquet to practice for the school tennis team at Springs Primary School and she began hitting balls against the back wall of her house. Within a short while however, she started telling herself stories out loud as she hit the ball up against the wall, always above the brick line which served as an invisible net, onto the rough-cast upper section.
As she grew older she replaced the tennis racquet and ball with the manual keyboard of an old black Remington typewriter and then a portable Olivetti manual typewriter that her father gave her.
On leaving school she worked as a secretary to the financial director of a large corporation and one of her colleagues, after reading a few of the short stories she'd written, encouraged Pamela to send one of them to Living & Loving magazine where it was accepted for publication. A short while afterwards she had another story published in the Darling magazine and then she decided to enrole in a writing course to fine tune her writing.
A couple of years after the acceptance of her first short story for publicaton she married, had two children and along with her husband started a carpet cleaning and janitorial business and the business and family became the focus of her time and energy.
During the past few years, with her children no longer living at home, she has returned to her writing and has been very active completing six novels, a novella, three books of short stories, many short stories for her website, seven children's stories and countless poems plus designing and creating some interesting products.
Pamela lives in the U.S.A.
