About this author

Pam van Hylckama Vlieg writes short stories for anthologies. She is also an associate agent at Larsen Pomada Literary Agents in San Francisco. She's been writing reviews at Bookalicious for four years, and writing professionally for the San Francisco Book Review for two years. She partners her blog with her local independent bookstore, Hicklebee's in San Jose.

She is married to a code monkey and has two monkey children. Pam loves animals and houses a Jack Russell with a Napoleon complex, an English Bulldog who thinks he's a pit bull, and a small Peruvian Guinea Pig who will do anything for an apple slice.

You can reach her online on Twitter: @BookaliciousPam




Around a year ago today I became a literary agent. Laurie McLean gave me access to her query inbox and with CJ Redwine’s help I found Cecily White. I read her book over a weekend day and forced Laurie to read it. She agreed that it would be a great first book to shop as a new agent.


I later sold that book to Liz at Entangled.


Today, that book is out in the world. And I love it dearly.

Diana Wynne Jones
“I think we ought to live happily ever after," and she thought he meant it. Sophie knew that living happily ever after with Howl would be a good deal more hair-raising than any storybook made it sound, though she was determined to try. "It should be hair-raising," added Howl.
"And you'll exploit me," Sophie said.
"And then you'll cut up all my suits to teach me.”

Socrates
“Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.”
Socrates

P.Q. Glisson Hey Pam,
Her Sanctuary
Thanks so much for becoming my friend on goodreads. I would love for you to check out my debut novel, Her Sanctuary, which is available at over 25,000 bookstore websites worldwide including amazon.com and The Book Depository and just recently, BooksonBoard.com.

As my friend, please feel free to peruse my profile and see what I'm currently working on.

Please help me spread the word by recommending it to your friends and if you are a member of a book club, perhaps you could suggest they put it on their reading list?

Being a self-published author, I AM the marketing team so any help you could give, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again!


Kate (A Reader's Review) Thanks for the add, Pam!


KyleeJ Hi, Pam. Thanks for adding me!


Melissa You're the first person to answer my "friend request" challenge :)
