Pamela B. Cathcart lives in Mechanicsville Virginia, and is parent of a son with Attention Deficit Disorder and daughter with Marfan Syndrome. During her 11 years with Hanover County Public Schools as Coordinator for the Parent Resource Center for Special Education, she advocated for families of children with disabilities.

As a dramatist and playwright, Ms. Cathcart wrote and directed historical plays for the Hanover Tavern Foundation, Hanover County Public Schools, and the Ashland Stage Arts School, where she held the position of Education Director. Seeing a need for books written in the language and sensibilities of today's youth, as well as works incorporating characters with disabilities, her books have become favorites of students, parents, and educators alike.
