amela Bradley, who lives in Sydney, Australia, has written ten books to date. These cover topics ranging from: the history and cultures of ancient civilisations; mysteries associated with the cosmos, the natural and human world; ancient messages and present warnings concerning our time in history, and a memoir that covers the physical, emotional and spiritual journeys she made over a seven-year period.

Her passion for ancient cultures and mysteries developed at the age of nine when she was given a book on lost civilizations. This led her to take History at University and motivated her to travel extensively. During her travels she began dabbling in writing and kept journals that she used as sources for literary travel articles.

She taught Higher School Certificate Ancient History for many years, her aim being to make history accessible to all students. It was then she began writing, what was to become a series of six Ancient History texts. In 1986, she left teaching and worked for a year as a travel consultant, before taking up a position as a writer at the Open Training Education Network, a world-class on-line learning centre. Her writing career was diverted by her second marriage to an Egyptian and the purchase of a café in the northern Sydney suburb of Mosman, but in keeping with her interest in writing, the café became a gathering place for writers and other creative people: artist, actors and journalists. After selling the café in 2002, she worked part-time as an English mentor for Asian students at a prestigious boys high school and attended many overseas’ creative writing workshops where she began writing fragments of her memoir ‘Nefertiti Street’.

Pamela’s three sons are inveterate travellers and at present two of them are living and working overseas: in the Middle East and S.E.Asia which gives her the chance to visit between deadlines.

According to Pamela:

Apart from communicating with people via the written word, I love to make solitary journeys; ‘go off the beaten track’ and outside my comfort zone; explore the mysteries and wisdom of ancient cultures – particularly Egypt; read about discoveries on the frontiers of science, and meet people who in the words of the poet Robert Frost ‘have taken the road less travelled’.
