You can now preorder my seventh book, Rock Star Syndrome, in e-book format! The book comes out on 12th October 2023, and you will be able to order paperback and hardback copies closer to the time.
Shae Kinnon always knew his role as the frontman of glam rock band Spicy Hyena came with rules, but he didn’t know it meant losing himself.
Shae is everything Robert Courtenay is not – unattainable, beguiling and mysterious with looks and a voice to die for. In Shae, Robert created the perfect rock star and fulfilled his lifelong dream of creating a successful rock act.
After four years, Shae is done with being Robert's puppet. He is lonely, homesick and tired of pretending to be someone he is not. When Shae falls in love, he sees his chance to break free, but a public romance threatens everything Robert has built over the years, and Robert is not ready to let go yet…
Rock Star Syndrome is a dazzling portrayal of life in a manufactured band by award-winning musical fiction author Pamela Harju.

118 AUTHORS JOIN THE FIREBIRD BOOK AWARD CIRCLE OF WINNERS
January 2022 – Speak Up Talk Radio announced the winners of 2021’s fourth quarter FIREBIRD BOOK AWARDS contest.
One of the winning entries was from Irish author Pamela Harju whose book titled Two Hearts in a Grave won in the Music and Musical Fiction categories.
Authors and publishers from around the world submitted their work to the Firebird Book Awards. Two judges from a select panel of 17 judges read each book in its entirety and independently scored each entry. All judges committed to a set of standardized criteria that evaluates the quality of the writing as well as production aspects. Only entries with the highest of scores were awarded the coveted Firebird.
Patricia J. Rullo, founder of the Firebird Book Awards, says, “this quarter saw a huge increase in the number of categories selected by the submitting authors. This increase allowed us to send even more pillowcases and other handmade gifts to the homeless shelters. The charitable component to our awards allows all entry fees to be tax-deductible to the author. In return, we personally make and send handmade fun and colorful pillowcases to women and children in homeless shelters via Enchanted Makeovers, a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization. In this way, authors get notoriety for their work while helping to transform homeless shelters into bright and happy homes. It is a rewarding venture for everyone.”
Pat adds, “our judging panel includes a diverse group who represent a cross section of ages, cultural heritage, race, religion, gender, and experience. At Speak Up Talk Radio, our mission is to offer authors a welcome place to promote themselves and their books via book awards, radio interviews, audiobook production, voiceover marketing tools, and podcasting services. We want to support those dare who share themselves with the world through their written words.”
