The Women Behind Happy Woman

Pamela Monk

  I was born in Brooklyn NY, raised on LI, and even though I now live in State College PA, I carry those places with me,which means,among other things that I think nothing of driving for four hours to travel ten miles and that I can resort to using muscle on someone who stands between me and something I wish to try on at a mall. The facts of my life are deceptively simple ... married my high school honey, teach school,two kids,two grandchildren.  That's all on the record,verifiable.  But I also am the sovereign of a vast entity, the Pamelapolis (a selfosphere) which has roots both in what some may call the real world AND the parallel universe,where anyone,real or fictional can meet anyone from any place or time. Which by the way is where I met Donna.  One of the mottos we live by is "don't blow your cover, cover is good" And I firmly expect that heaven is filled with good storytellers, although I may have that confused with hell (another motto- Heaven for climate, hell for company!)
