Happy Halloween and Beyond

Indie Author of the Week!

Pamela Turner


Pamela Turner drinks too much coffee and wishes she could write perfect first drafts. The author of paranormal suspense and urban fantasy, she’s published two novels, Annihilating Angel and When Angels Threaten, as well as two novellas, the Ripper’s Daughter and Rogue Vampire. The latter is the first book in her Louisville Paranormal Files series. She’s also an award-winning screenplay writer. 

 

Growing up in Wisconsin, Pamela moved to Louisville, Kentucky after graduating from college. Many of her stories are set in the Derby City. Neighborhoods like Old Louisville and the Highlands often show up on the pages, along with places like Eastern Cemetery and Central Park.

 

Like many writers, she’s worked various jobs, including security guard, freelance magazine writer, and substitute teacher. Her current position, besides author, is cat herder for four rescue cats.

 

When not writing, Pamela enjoys Hidden Object Games, anime and manga, cemeteries, and abandoned buildings. She lives with her daughter and aforementioned cats, who think her lap is a timeshare.

November 8, Per Basket Publishing Trio of Authors, Sara Marian, Marian Allen and T. Lee Harris will be together at our LaGrange location


For as long as she can remember, Marian Allen has loved telling and being told stories. When, at the age of about six, she was informed that somebody got paid for writing all those books and movies and television shows, she abandoned her previous ambition (beachcomber), and became a writer.

November 8, Per Basket Publishing Trio of Authors, Sara Marian, Marian Allen and T. Lee Harris will be together at our LaGrange location


T. Lee Harris is a scribbler of the lowest order. Not only does she pen lies about people who don't exist, but she draws pictures of them as well.

Harris has also been known to aid and abet others by putting their scribblings into book form and going so far as to devise covers for these publications. She claims she went to school to learn these things, but that shouldn't be held against anyone.

Harris's acts of literary vandalism know no limits ranging from historical mis-information about ancient Egypt to lies about a modern day retired spy who keeps getting mixed up in other people's business.

There are suspicions that Harris is committing another novel or two, but this has yet to be confirmed.
