STORM
is a story of hope and the renewal of the spirit that can only come
from surviving the devastation of one's history and the loss of
everything we hold dear."
- Romance in Color Magazine
Ella: Where are you from? How did you start your writing
journey?
PLS: I was born and raised in New Orleans where I still
live, surrounded by its unique culture of jazz, the best food in
the country and people who know how to let the good times roll! Les
bon temps roulez!
Ella: Pamela, please introduce us the
book STORM and the characters within?
PLS: POST-KATRINA NEW ORLEANS: In STORM experience the aftermath
of the worst natural disaster to hit the Gulf Coast through the
eyes of the Lewis's as Sabrina Adams and Josh Lewis find and
preserve love in the midst of devastation.
John has always been a
fixture in her life and Sabrina knew she could count on him to do
any and everything... Except admit that he loved her. Despite the
fact that she threw herself at him, despite the closer, deeper
relationship that had grown because of the hurricane and its
aftermath, John was determined to stay within the eye of the storm
brewing between them.
Sabrina was going to
make sure that they quickly passed through that false calmness; for
it they could survive the horrible winds and rain of the hurricane
and deal with the horrific aftermath and destruction of their city
after it had passed, she would make him understand that they
deserved each other.
Ella: What would you like your readers to
take away from your book, Storm?
PLS: I wanted to share a more personal insight of the
effects of Hurricane Katrina. Through STORM, I was able to show
the Post-Katrina effects on a family my readers have come to know
and love. In my 4-book LOVE FOUND series, the Lewis clan gives a
Pre-Katrina view of a black, southern family in New Orleans. STORM
shows how this strong family came together to overcome the
challenges Hurricane Katrina created in their lives as well as the
discovery of a love despite them.
Ella: What is the most surprising thing you have learned in
creating books?
PLS: The most surprising thing I've learned in the
creation of my stories is that I should always listen to my
characters. They "speak" to me as I write, guiding the story in
directions I had not intended to go. When I begin a story I have
an outline and set format. As my character develop they sometime
tell me, "Whoa, Pam, that's not what I would do!" or "Are you
crazy? I need to...". What can I do but give in to their
demands?
Ella: What makes your book stand out and would entice a
reader pick it up?
PLS: A pre-Katrina and post-Katrina view of family, love,
resiliency and determination makes this series of books stand out.
Readers have the opportunity to get to know and love a New Orleans
family before Hurricane Katrina and then experience the changes in
their livers after the hurricane. I began my LOVE FOUND series
long before Hurricane Katrina blew into my life and the lives of
the Lewis'.
In my 4-book LOVE FOUND series, the Lewis clan
shows a Pre-Katrina view of a strong, New Orleans family. Through
STORM, I was able to relay the Post-Katina effect on a family
readers have come to know and love. STORM shows how this strong
family came together to overcome the challenges Hurricane Katrina
created in their lives as well as the discovery of a love despite
them.
Ella: Ultimately, what do you want readers to gain from
your book?
PLS: I would like readers to gain a deeper understanding
of the effects of Hurricane Katrina. Though television allowed the
world to witness the aftermath of the storm, the slow rescue and
complete devastation of the city I love, I wanted to share a more
personal insight of the effects of Hurricane Katrina on families,
relationships and future generations.
