Who is Pam
McInnes?

Now, that is
a really good question.
All I know
is she's a wife, mother, household manager, animal behaviourist, counsellor,
student, and a really bad cook.
Long before Pam
had decided to become a used book merchant she worked at fast food
restaurants, dry cleaners, factories and offices; and she earned her
secretarial, offset printing, creative writing, and
Microsoft computer networking certificates.
In the year 2000, she was laid off from her administrator
job and her husband saw she was getting frustrated looking for
another. So he said, "Pam,
you really like to write, so why don't you do that?"
So, she did.
For five years she worked as a freelancer writing business copy:
Web sites, promotional material, manuals, speeches, radio
blurbs, and newsletters. But
then she got tired of writing the same fluff over and over
again.
So
her husband said, "Why not put your energies into fiction.
That's where your real passion is."
So she did.
And as she wrote a novel or three, and won a short story contest, she started selling used books.
First she started with their collection of around 300 or so,
which quickly grew to over 7,000 - fiction and non-fiction in
all genres as well as youth and children's books that she now
sells on this site, with partial inventory at:
Used Books From Pam's eBay Store For Canadian, US and
International Buyers
Amazon.ca For Canadian Buyers Only
Kitchener's Kijiji For local buyers.
Guelph's Kijiji
For local buyers.
Cambridge's Kijiji
For local buyers.
And then her husband said, "You're doing okay. I think you're on
the right track."
And she is....
Now, because of her loving husband's support she is:
a used book merchant, writer, wife, mother,
household manager, animal behaviourist, counsellor, and student.
But, still a really bad cook.
Fortunately though,
her husband's fantastic in the kitchen!!
Thanks for visiting.
Hope to see you again soon!
