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 then as a writer.
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.
As a former engineer, I have a very logical and curious mind. I also have a strong, visceral, bullshit detector. I feel it in my gut when something doesn’t resonate, and 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 something aligns with my deepest knowing, I stay put, even if my logical mind says, “You’re kidding, right? This can’t possibly be true.” I listen, even if my mind is not yet ready to believe. Because I know there’s something here for me.
What I learned during the three years that I attended those weekly meetings with that powerful group of psychics deeply resonated with me as truth.
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.
I’ve also come to understand that we’re all psychic, if we allow ourselves to be. Everyone has the ability to connect with higher consciousness, in their own unique way.

Who is Pamela Palmer?
Well, it’s me. It’s also the name under which I published most of my nineteen romance novels.
My first novel, The Dark Gate, was published by Harlequin in 2007. Between then and 2015, I published eighteen more, 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. What I’m writing has changed. Hence the (slight) name change.
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 earlier writing absolutely came from that place. It’s how I tapped into emotions like loneliness, betrayal, rejection, anger, fear. Pain bodies love misery.
However, my pain body is all but gone. I’ve healed and released it. This is a large part of the journey I’ve been on, and in these pages I’ll explain how I did that. I have never felt better, either physically or emotionally.
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, emotionally, by the end of their stories — and their mates, 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. Or when they find me. In the meantime, this is where I’m sharing my writing, both my own story and tales straight from my imagination. In a lot of ways, all of it is more fantastical than any of the books I’ve written. And how fun is that?
