Life of a writer

I have neglected my blog and feel horrible about it. My time has been consumed with writing and getting my novel finished. I’m also happy that I put a new character in my novel. Her name is Jacqueline which was my mother’s name. Poor Jacqueline who is only 14 finds haunting stories from the attic about her grandma and mother. Now my novel is in the editing stage. I have started on a prequel.

About the Author.

Pamela Shelton Reynolds was born in Phoenix, Arizona during the 1960's. Because her mother had contracted German measles between the fourth and sixth weeks of this pregnancy, Pamela was born with microphthalmia (an eye part malformation), heart murmur, hearing loss and her intellect would be questionable. As a crowning touch, she had duck feet for which she would need leg braces and corrective shoes. The doctors told her parents the best thing they could do would be to put her in an institution. They adamantly refused. During Pamela's growing-up years she was labeled "one eyed freak" by her classmates, but she came to realize that this was a small trial compared to the multitude of failures, secrets and long-buried hurts caused by her dysfunctional family. Pamela has been married to her husband Trent for 35 years and they have been blessed with five wonderful children and six grandchildren. Her hobbies include writing, reading, yoga, gardening, and cooking for her family. She claims that her greatest treasures in life are her parents, husband, children and grandchildren. She also adores her many close friends.
