Pam Laughlin

Pam lives in New Jersey with a mob of males (her husband, 3 sons and 2 Havenese pups). She’s written for over thirty years, mostly technical “how to use” guides, manuals, and instructions that people refused to read. She’s also worked as a reporter covering human interest stories, was a creative editor for an online monthly magazine, and owned a craft-of-the-month club for children. When she’s not writing, she enjoys cooking, reading, gardening, and cutting the cheese as a professional cheesemonger.

Her short story, Combat Paper, was published in Folio Oak Literary Magazine and won the Writer’s Village University short story contest. Other work has appeared in Edify Publications, Blink Ink, City Kidz World Magazine, and blogs galore. The Soul of the Elephant is her first full-length historical novel. She hopes to transport readers to a magical and mystical world (even if just for a little while) that’s jam-packed with mahouts, spirit animals, wonderworkers, and adventure.
