Pamela Palmer

When asked where she's from, Pamela Palmer replies, "The Air Force." The daughter of a pilot, she lived in eleven different houses and attended eight schools across the U.S. and Asia before age fifteen, sparking a love of adventure. When her plan to captain starships didn't pan out, she earned a degree in industrial engineering and went to work for a major computer manufacturer, feeding her need for excitement with books and daydreams-many of which eventually grew into novels. Now she writes full-time and lives in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., with her real-life hero and two incredible kids.
