Pamela Fagan Hutchins writes fiction and nonfiction about “having it all” from the position of having a little too much of everything, and loving it: writer, mediocre endurance athlete (triathlon, marathons), wife, mom of an ADHD & Asperger’s son, five kids/step-kids, business owner, recovering employment attorney and human resources executive, consultant, and musician.
She has five books with SkipJack Publishing:
She is also one of the authors of Easy To Love, But Hard To Raise from DRT Press and Prevent Workplace Harassment from the former Prentice Hall.
She has four novels coming out with SkipJack in 2012 and 2013: Discovering Katie, Leaving Annalise, Conceding Grace, and Going For Kona.
She won Romance in the 2010 Writers’ League of Texas Manuscript Competition for Leaving Annalise, and she also won both Mainstream Fiction (2010, 2011 and 2012) and Narrative Non-fiction (2012) in the Houston Writers’ Guild’s Manuscript Competitions for Conceding Grace (novel) and How To Screw Up Your Kids (nonfiction book). She won the 2012 Ghost Story Contest with HWG for “The Jumbie House,” an adapted excerpt from Discovering Katie; it will appear in an upcoming anthology as well.
Pamela is well-known for her Type A slightly OCD tendencies — and alphabet soup life and for making everyone around her tired. She lives with her husband Eric and two high school-aged kids, plus 200 pounds of pets in Houston, but their hearts are still in St. Croix, USVI, along with those of their three oldest offspring. She’s a true Texan, though, born February 8, 1967 in Austin.
Keep up with Pamela on the Road to Joy Blog. Road to Joy (or it might be Rode to Joy, depends upon my mood each day) — is a song reference; Eric didn’t get it, possibly because as a rock bassist he doesn’t listen to enough classical music. Her entire family lives in terror of earning a mention on these pages.

So, as you were poking around my blog, leaving a few comments, I was poking around yours, being the total creep-o who doesn’t comment.
I clicked over after I saw your follow in Twitter.
Then I got your comment notification via email. Um, so, yeah, here’s me, trying NOT to be creepy, saying hello.
Nothing better than meeting a smart girl actively working at NOT working in law.
Nice to meet you!
Now, that got a good chuckle. Nice to meet you too, Laura.

Thanks for dropping by my blog. You are one busy woman! I am ADHD. My son is ADD. He escaped the hyper part lucky man. My slight OCD tendencies have saved my butt! My doctor says I have a perfect blend of issues lol
Ha! I love your doctor! And, wow, ADHD w/slight OCD — that is pretty much perfect.
Hi Pamela,
I am a journalism student at NYU and am writing my final piece on ADHD medications. I need to speak to a parent on a child who is on meds. Does your son take them? If so could I ask you a few questions about it?
Thanks!
Reem
Sure. Email me at pamela@pamelahutchins.com
I love having met you. I’ve been here, at your blog, for the past 25 mins.
I met you through an emergency email alert from erin margolin re posting to blogher. By accident.
And I had to meet the woman who is in the dork at the keyboard sisterhood like me.
I ALSO PUBLISHED ON BLOGHER WHEN RITA ASKED ME TO SYNDICATE.
Doh.
So, you were primed for instant love right there.
And, now, going over your old posts?
Oh, yeah, I’m subscribing.
Beyond lovely to meet you. You have a definite style that I can see easily coming across into books.
I’m on the same writer’s road: right now, in a writer’s group, and an online class, and writing everyday.
To get the story down.
Lovely to know you.
