Profile: Pam Howes

About This Author

Picture Hi! I'm Pam Howes. I was born in Cheshire. I'm a retired Soft Furnishings and Interior Designer who loves creating stories, but only started writing seriously about twelve years ago. The idea for my first novel, set in the sixties, came from my time as a teenager, working in a local record store and hanging round with the musicians who frequented the business.That first novel evolved into a series, all now published. The first, Three Steps to Heaven, is the tale of rock'n'roll band, The Raiders, and their lives and loves. The sequel, 'Til I Kissed You, featuring the same characters, is set in the eighties. This book sees the reformation of The Raiders after a spell of retirement. The third novel, Always On My Mind, set in 2001, weaves a further tale of love and betrayal, followed by Not Fade Away, set in 2005 and due for print publication soon. The prequel, That'll Be The Day is also due for printing soon I'm a big fan of sixties music and it's this love and the support and encouragement of my musician partner, for whom I work as a part-time roadie, that compelled me to write the series. I have three adult daughters and seven grandchildren. I much prefer writing to curtain-making as no ladders are involved.
