Pamela Helberg

Pamela Helberg was recently published in Beyond Belief: The Secret Lives of Women in Extreme Religions and is something of an expert at living two lives: Fundamentalist Christian/closeted lesbian; Catholic school employee/mostly-out lesbian; writer/computer geek; lesbian mom in the not-so-gay nineties. She received her MA in Creative Writing from Western Washington University where she studied under award-winning novelist Laura Kalpakian. Pam founded and operated Fremont Place Books in Seattle and taught English composition for many years at Whatcom Community College, before succumbing to her inner geek and launching a career in IT. Pam currently works in IT by day, writes whenever she can, and is at work on her memoir. She lives with her partner, Nancy, in Bellingham, Washington,  where she works at making her life more congruent. She blogs on a variety of topics at pmbgp.blogspot.com andpamelahelberg.com
