Pamela Hartshorne

After a haphazard career working and travelling around the world, Pamela first stumbled into writing as a way to fund a Ph.D. in Medieval Studies at the University of York. Twenty years, 60 romances and one Ph.D. later, she stepped out of her comfort zone and began writing 'time slip' novels that drew on her research into the Elizabethan street and her fascination with the relationship between the past and the present.

Time’s Echo, published by Pan Macmillan in 2012, was her first mainstream novel. It was followed by The Memory of Midnight, published in 2013, The Edge of Dark in 2014 and House of Shadows in 2016.  Her next novel, The Cursed Wife, a psychological thriller set in Elizabethan London, is released on 8 March 2018.

Pamela lives in York and in addition to writing fiction, she is also a project editor and a writer of non-fiction, most recently a history of Windsor Castle.
