About me
How I Got Here
I’ve always been fascinated by the out-of-the-ordinary. As a small child, that meant dinosaurs. By age ten, I was obsessed with Star Trek and desperately wanted to travel to the stars. Instead, I turned to books, first as a reader, and later, as a writer. I wrote and published stories of shape-shifters, vampires, time travel. I even wrote a series for Harlequin about an evil elf invasion of Washington, D.C.
So when I stumbled upon (was led to) a psychic support group who introduced me to beings and concepts that we’ve long been taught aren’t real, or aren’t true, I was skeptical, but also intrigued. And then I became obsessed.
What I heard, and learned about, deeply resonated with me as truth.
I’ve come to realize that I have a strong…let’s call it a truth-o-meter. I feel it viscerally when something aligns with my deepest knowing, even if my logical mind says, “You’re kidding, right?” If it doesn’t resonate, I’m out of there. It’s not even a conscious choice, I just find myself leaving the room or website, or closing the book. But if I’m staying put, I listen, even if my mind says, “Seriously? This can’t possibly be true.” If I’m not ready to believe it, yet I’m still listening, I’ll stash it in the Skeptical-but-willing-to-be-convinced file in my brain.
I often remind myself that no one believed in viruses until the 1800’s. Or dinosaurs, for that matter. Just because we can’t see something, or haven’t heard of it before, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Or hasn’t existed in the past.
I love delving into the unknown. And I’ve found so much more there than I ever thought possible. It’s not what we’ve been led to believe. Not at all. It’s infinitely loving, gloriously beautiful, powerful, joyful, logical… What can I say? I’m a fan of the Universe. A huge fan.
When I joined that psychic support group in 2013, I did not consider myself psychic. Not at all. But since then…
I’ve come to understand that everyone has the ability to connect with higher consciousness…in their own unique way.
What do I mean by higher consciousness? Essentially, Mission Control — our higher selves, angels, spirit guides — our own individual team in spirit, and we all have one.
It took me a long time to believe that I had psychic gifts, let alone begin to understand what they were. And that discovery will be lifelong, because they’ll continue to grow.
In the meantime, it’s time for me to share my own experiences, and what I’ve learned from them, because they’ve changed both me and my life profoundly. When you’re ready, if you’re open to discovery…
This stuff will change your life, too.

Who is Pamela Palmer?
Let’s start with the reason for the name change. It turns out that Pamela Palmer is not a unique name. Pamela Dell Palmer (my real name) is. Also, I am not the same person that I was when I published my first novel, The Dark Gate, with Harlequin/Silhouette in 2007.
I went on to publish sixteen more full-length novels plus two novellas (most of them with Avon Books). Other than my time travels, these are dark and extremely sexy stories about shape-shifters, vampires, and the like. It’s what I loved reading, back then, so it’s what I wrote. The thing is…
I’ve changed.
In Eckhart Tolle’s book The New Earth (an Oprah’s Book Club selection), he explains the concept of the pain body and talks about how most entertainment is created from pain bodies for the pain bodies of others. My books absolutely came from that place. It’s how I tapped into emotions like loneliness, betrayal, rejection, anger, fear. Pain bodies love misery. But my pain body is all but gone. I’ve healed and released it, and in these pages I’ll explain how I did that.
Not only have I never felt better, both physically and emotionally, but I never imagined that I could feel this good.
Unfortunately, while that’s good news for me, it’s bad news for the readers who still ask when I’m going to write more Feral Warriors books. I will say, the Feral Warriors — the eight shifters who emerged fully healed by the end of their stories — are with me, still. Yes, it’s in my imagination, and yet…it’s more than that, too. In a weird and wonderful way, they’ve become family. I’ll explain as we go along. Because the imagination isn’t exactly what we’ve been led to believe.
I will write more novels, when I find the stories that align with who I am, now. In the meantime, this is where I’m doing my writing.
I hope you’ll stick around, because in a lot of ways, what I’m offering on these pages is more fantastical than any of the fiction I’ve written. And that’s saying something!

Bio
Pamela Dell Palmer, an ex-IBM engineer turned New York Times bestselling author, discovered a passion for exploring the secrets of the universe when she joined a psychic support group in order to research a new novel. Initially worried that a roomful of psychics would see right through her, she instead found a remarkable group of seekers and wisdom keepers delighted to introduce her to a reality far more intriguing and beautiful than anything she could have imagined. With an insatiable curiosity and a mind that is at once intensely logical, yet wide open to all possibilities, she is a natural fit for this quest. Which, of course, was always The Plan.
