ABOUT ME

My photo
Pam Norfolk
From romance to thrillers, family sagas to historical fiction and children’s books to crime mysteries, I have been writing reviews for a north of England newspaper group for more than ten years. I have also reviewed books for the Wordsworth Trust’s Romanticism blog. My work appears on the Lancashire Post website and 20 other newspaper titles. Born In Lancaster and educated at Queen Elizabeth School in Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria, I trained as a journalist on a newspaper in Morecambe. For over 30 years, I worked as a reporter and sub-editor on various evening newspapers as well as a national newspaper, gaining a first-class degree in English along the way and now book reviewing for over 20 newspapers. I am married to fellow journalist John Norfolk.
