Pamela Mattson McDonald
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY
While a successful, visual artist at the mouth of the Columbia River for twenty years, Pamela Mattson McDonald relied on acute observation, creativity, and a disciplined focus.
For the last ten, she’s honed these skills in the written word. Her work is a window on her varied past experience and worldview. She’s worked in the merchant marines, cooked in fine restaurants, gardened extensively, hiked, climbed, and traveled the world.
Her work is represented in print and on the Internet. Also, the author of the Jennifer Harrington Jones Mysteries, Pamela’s eBooks are available at smashwords.com and iTunes books. She is the author of the unpublished “Slingin’ Hash and Haulin’ Oil”.
