Pamela Ebel offers a wealth of wisdom in this interview for
our writer-focused 
series.
She pursues writing with the drive and curiosity and wit that she devoted to her previous careers.
Ebel has been published in Shotgun Honey, YELLOW MAMA EZINE, Kings River Life Magazine, The BOULD AWARDS 2020 and 2021 Anthology, Tomorrow and Tomorrow 2021 Anthology, and other venues. Her poetry has appeared in the Delta Poetry Review.
A native of
California, she now concentrates on tales from her original home state and
tales from the highways of the South. She also knows, like the Ancient Greeks
and the Irish, that as a Southern writer you can’t outrun your blood.
She has turned to writing full
time as of 2020, obviously either perfect or bizarre timing, and this will be
her fifth career. She lives in Metairie, Louisiana, with her husband and two
cats.
