Pam Tremblay writes mysteries set in the far-flung corners of the American West. Her first book, Perseverance, is a thriller set in western Wyoming. When Pam started writing twenty years ago, she aspired to be a fantasy fiction writer, but realized her true voice as a writer came from her roots in the remote places of America. Her father is a master storyteller, and on the farm homesteaded by her great-grandparents, Pam grew up listening to his crazy (and mostly true) stories about local characters. Fantasy can take you to strange and remarkable places, she thought, but what could be more extraordinary and alien than the characters and tales of rural America? The descendants of the people from her father’s stories populate Pam’s books. She hears them speak; she knows their stories and their secrets. Her next book, Finding Oddsson, is a mystery about a 100 year old murder in North Dakota.
