Author Bio

Pam Thorson is a nurse, author, speaker, and full-time caregiver. She is the owner/administrator of a certified family home in Idaho, juggling her official duties with her love of research and writing.

Her conversion to the Lord Jesus Christ in 1975 sent her on journey spanning nearly five decades. Her love for and devotion to life springs from this association with her Creator.

Pam and her husband pioneered in the homeschooling movement from 1982-2006, educating all five of their children at home. Two of their children are second-generation home educators.

Tragedy struck their family in 1997 and became the catalyst for her writing journey. Her middle son's fight for life after his devastating spinal cord injury in Canada introduced her to the world of disability and launched her into advocacy for the pro-life movement.

Her book Song in the Night relates the true account of her son's injury, the fight against euthanasia, his return home, and God's miraculous work in her family through it all. Her second book, Out from the Shadows: 31 Devotions for the Weary Caregiver, is endorsed by Joni Eareckson Tada and offers hope to those who care for others.

For thirty years, she interviewed and gathered the stories of her community's elders, finally compiling them into the book Arrow: The History and People of an Idaho Community, Vol. One. This volume documents the rich history of the rural community of Arrow, Idaho--land of the native Nimìipuu and Lewis and Clark.

Sent to her room with the rest of the country during the pandemic, Pam researched and wrote the award-winning end times thriller Blood Falls. She is a regular contributor for the Christian music (and more) website CMADDICT.COM, where you’ll find her treasury of articles and devotions. 

A member of the Association of Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW), the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association (AWSA), and Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), Pam lives in her beloved community in the Northwest with her family.

Pam’s Mission:

On the morning of July 11, 1997, my husband and I were sitting in the dining room of a friend’s home when he picked up his Bible and read 2 Corinthians 1:1-11 out loud to us. “God gave me this Scripture for you last night,” he explained, “but I don’t know what you’re supposed to do with it.” Neither did we.

But six hours later, we would.

On July 11, 1997, our son Kevin suffered a devastating spinal cord injury in a fall. That Scripture, given to us hours before his injury, has become our lifeline in the years since the accident. It has read nearly like a script, leading us safely through an endless Red Sea of impending doom.

The crossing has been long and fearsome – but no less miraculous. Though Kevin literally received a death sentence in Canada, we have been encouraged to trust in “the God who raises the dead” (2 Corinthians 1:9).

The miracles have been numerous. Kevin is one of the rare people originally diagnosed with a complete high cervical injury who has regained substantial neurological recovery. He has been officially reclassified but is still mostly disabled, with its attending complications.

Our family stands as a testament to God’s healing and sustaining power. Today, more than ever, we can say that God is worthy of our trust. As we have walked through the daily valley of the shadow, God has indeed delivered us, cared for us, strengthened us, and graced us with His comfort.

It is this comfort I long to share with you.

…who comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.       

~ 2 Corinthians 1:4 NASB
