Pamela Muelhbauer was born and raised in Minnesota, one of six children. She and her husband Gerr, live in a small community just northwest of Minneapolis. They have two children, Amy and Aaron, and a bichon-poo that thinks he’s human. The marriage spend much of their recreational time in the lakes region of northern Minnesota. They enjoy roasting marshmallows over an open fire and listening to the call of the loons in the summer, and in the winter they trek through the woods on snowshoes and fish through a hole in the ice. Is it romantic? Ask a Minnesotan and you’ll likely get the answer, "You betcha!" says Pamela, who treasures those moments "up north." Since selling her first romance in 1986, Pamela Bauer has gained fans around the world for her heartwarming stories about love and family relationships. She plans to continue to write stories about people falling in love and living happily ever after. She hopes that when you read one of her books you’ll smile and maybe even laugh out loud, but more important, when you’ve finished the story you’ll feel good — about families, about life, and about love. She often uses the Midwest as a setting for her books, because she believes there’s something special about the region that makes it the perfect setting for stories about love and family. It’s also the place where she fell in love with her real-life hero, her husband.
