Prior to Pamela becoming a romance novelist she had a successful career as an award-winning writer, producer and director of PBS documentaries including the NPR radio series New Voices. She has a Master’s Degree at Harvard University and has helped non-profits that improve the lives of wild animals. This interview is different from others with Pamela because it gives more depth of her local community and the latest information about her new book Aim For Love.
Wayne: You’re originally from Mill Valley, what made you move to Petaluma?
Pamela: My husband wanted to start a big organic garden and wanted flat land and sunshine—not easy to come by in Mill Valley where we had lived for 17 years. Petaluma has wonderful resources for serious gardeners, including the Seed Bank, Cottage Gardens and the many Farm Trails events and tours.
Wayne: I understand you live on a farm and have quite the garden. Tell us about your farming/gardening.
Pamela: We have about an acre in cultivation and eat about 80% of our food from the garden. We have also planted gardens for pollinators (bees and butterflies) and for local and migrating birds. It’s been tons of work, yet living and eating in concert with the land and the seasons has been an amazing experience.
