Opis produktu

Pam Binder says she believes in happiereverafter endings. Married 32 years with three grown kids she has had a good life with an understanding mate one who has supported her lifelong writing habit.Ive always loved to write. says Pam an Issaquah Washington resident and office manager at Chinook Middle School. Poetry short stories...I cannot remember a time when I didnt like to write or read.Binders path to her destiny was circuitous. As she raised her children she put her writing career on hold. But oldfashioned diligence and a chance meeting with a receptive agent changed her life.When Pam Binder was a kid a fifth grade teacher told her mother: Pams reading too much. Shes reading during recess. Her mother retorted that she didnt consider her daughters love of reading grounds for complaint.About ten years ago Pam decided she wanted to start writing again in earnest. She went to a Romance Writers of America conference. Then she signed up for the commercial fiction writing sequence at the University of Washingtons extension division.It was there that things fell into place.Jack Remick one of Pams teachers in the UW program referred to a book called. The Writers Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers by Christopher Vogler.

Her book features a clan of immortals and a modern American teacher named Amber MacPhee who is pulled into their world of mystery romance and adventure.Pams next class at the University was taught by the owner of a small regional press. P.R. Goodfellow bought Pams workinprogress printed 2000 copies of it in 1997 and sold them all.If that were the end of the story this would be a respectable happiereverafter piece. Its not.In 1998 Pam took the Goodfellow Press edition of The Inscription to the Pacific Northwest Writers Association summer conference. More or less at random Binder took the book to Liza Dawson a New York literary agent. Dawson patted my hand Pam recalls took the book on the plane and called her Monday morning.I can sell this Dawson told Pam.Dawson says she has a test for any book: Am I having a really really good time? She recalls her immediate reaction to The Inscription: I so much enjoyed reading that book. Its a bear of a
