HELLO from the author of WAITING FOR CHRISTOPHER, ROSEY IN THE PRESENT TENSE, and THE VANISHING POINT
I've published over a dozen books, mostly for young adults. You'll see the covers of some of them in the slide show below. If they're familiar and you loved one or two, I'd be thrilled to hear from you in my comments section!
What's new? Last year I published a picture book for the kid in you, Muti's Necklace, and out this spring was a collection of short stories for adults, Anteaters Don't Dream. (You can learn more about all these titles at amazon or on my other website.)
And finally, because writers are always most charged up about their current project, I want you fantasy fans to know I have a collection of dark (as in so dark, you'll have to feel your way through the pages!) fairy tales just out from Houghton Mifflin. Black Pearls, A Faerie Strand is illustrated, so all you GN afficianados will have some eye candy while you read :-) Here's a sneak preview in the new trailer:
Here's one more vid, an author's dream! How often does a teen reviewer leave his sick bed to tell the world he loves your book? Thanks, Devyn:

ShopTalk link on my site, and however else you prep yourself for a career as an author, READ, READ, READ!
Who I'd like to meet:
I live in North Carolina and teach in an MFA in Writing program in Vermont, so I'd love to hear from Tar Heel and Green Mountain folks. But truth be told, it matters less where you live than that you're a friend, a reader, and someone who walks your talk about peace, love and healing.
Happy Birthday! Hope you'll check out my new book trailers. So much fun to make! All the best, Pamela Lowell (Haven't forgotten our coffee sometime soon!)
