Autorenporträt
Pam's saga novels There's Always Tomorrow, Better Days Will Come, Pack Up Your Troubles, For Better For Worse and Blue Moon are set in Worthing during the austerity years. Pam's inspiration comes from her love of people and their stories, and her passion for the town of Worthing. With the sea on one side and the Downs on the other, Worthing has a scattering of small villages within its urban sprawl, and in some cases tight-knit communities, making it an ideal setting for the modern saga.
