Fiction gives us a second chance
that life denies us.

Pam Skochinski wrote her first mystery novel in junior high school. It wouldn't have won her any literary awards, but it did garner her an A in English.

Since she graduated from the University of Illinois with a B.S.  and from the University of Louisville with an M.S., she's had many careers -- from lab technician to technical writer to stay-at-home Mom. 

In 1997, her first short story was published. Since then, she's had short stories published in  numerous publications and e-zines. She writes short humorous mystery stories as well as longer, dark tales of death and misadventure. 

Currently, she lives in “Pam”demonium with her family in Southern California.
