Pamela H. Bender

About the Author

Pamela H. Bender spent most of her career in education crafting words to help children. She wrote grants, testified in congressional hearings and worked on legislation for the students of an inner-city school district. Her first two series, The Dennsion Family Saga and Living Passionately, were written for adults. Writing a new series, The Ripple Effect, for teens and adults is a natural progression in her writing career.

Following her own advice, she lives each day to the fullest. By the time her husband, Joe, wakes up, she’s immersed in the flow of creation. If she’s taking a long walk with their Mini Australian Shepherd, Josey, he knows she’s working on a plot twist. If their orange cat, Millie, is on the back of her chair, he knows Pam is writing.

Her children have always been the center of her private life. Twenty-three grandchildren and seven married kids keep her busy and connected to the complex world of teens. Some of the problems they face show up on the pages of this novel, some come from her own experiences.

Pam hopes the books in The Ripple Effect series will both empower teens and increase communication between the generations.
