Pam Calvert received a BS degree from Texas Women's University in 1989 in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. In 1990, she received her teaching certificate in all areas of science from Mississippi University for Women and started teaching high school Chemistry and Physics. She stopped teaching to start a family in 1992.
She began writing for running magazines in 1994. She won awards for her work and moved on to children's literature in 1998. She published in a few magazines and then started working as a freelance writer for Odyssey, Adventures in Science. She wrote many articles for them and after a few years, decided to focus on fiction.
Her fiction stories have appeared in magazines such as Highlights, Guideposts for Kids, Nature Friend and many others. She likes to write fairytales, math adventures, middle grade novels, and multicultural stories--all with a humorous twist. She has five picture books coming out -- four with Charlesbridge Publishing and one with Marshall Cavendish. The first one entitled, Multiplying Menace: The Revenge of Rumpelstiltskin, was launched in February 2006. She's also written many mysteries, including one entitled, Clue School: Mystery at the Ballpark.
She loves her Lord, Jesus Christ, science, running, adventure racing, teaching, family, and church life. She lives with her husband and four children in California. Even though she lives in California, she feels she belongs on an island. If she could trade places with Ginger, Mary Ann, Gilligan, and the rest of the gang, she would!
