Pamela Murray

Pamela Murray is from the North East of England and has spent most of her life living in Boldon, a semi-rural village mid-way between Newcastle, Sunderland, and the coastal town of South Shields.

The first time she saw her name on a book was when she was 11. Everyone moving on from Junior School was presented with a book, and inside the front cover there was a label which had her name written on it. She remembers being thrilled to see her name in print, as it were.

She began writing in her teens, when she and her school friend used to write short stories for one another. The writing continued on and off over the years, but was only reignited within the last decade when the same school friend introduced her to the local writers group she was in.

She had intended to enter journalism after leaving school but found herself going to work in a public library instead, so there’s always been more than a passing interest in books, writing, and literature.
