Pam Van Allen

Pam Van Allen is a retired psychologist living in Northern California. She enjoys writing, drawing, and music, especially the Electric Light Orchestra. That’s Jeff Lynne standing next to her just out of frame.

Dr. Van Allen grew up in the Southern United States. She obtained her doctoral degree from the University of Memphis. She practiced in Memphis for almost 20 years before realizing California was the place to be and moved to Stockton to work for Kaiser Permanente.

Besides writing, Dr. Van Allen also rescues cats. She lives with one she rescued named Tasha. Her pet peeve is people thinking her last name is “Allen” rather than “Van Allen.”
