Pamela Brown

'I wanted to act before I read this book, and afterwards there was no stopping me' Maggie Smith In the town of Fenchester, seven resourceful children are yearning to be famous. One day, they come across a disused chapel, and an idea is formed. With a lick of paint and the addition of a beautiful curtain (which, however much they try, won't "swish" as stage curtains ought), the chapel becomes a theatre - and The Blue Door Theatre Company is formed. The children go from strength to strength, writing, directing and acting in their own plays. But their schooldays are numbered, and their parents want them to pack it in and train for sensible jobs. It seems that The Blue Door Theatre Company will have to go the way of all childhood dreams. But with a bit of luck, and the help of some influential friends, perhaps this is not the end, but only the beginning of their adventures in show business... Written in 1941 when the author was just 14, The Swish of the Curtain is a classic of children's literature, and has inspired generations of children to go on stage.

Life comes at you fast, and it hits you hard when you least expect it. Owen Stillwater thought he'd learned this lesson 2 years ago when he lost his wife to cancer. Boy was he wrong. As his life gets turned upside down once again, Owen realizes that sometimes you just have to roll with the punches. But this time, what if his life is being shaken apart for a reason? What if a little chaos is just what the doctor ordered? 14-year-old twins Luke and Lacey Cattleman had a pretty good life. Right up until they didn't. When an unthinkable tragedy rips their world apart, they learn that the hard way that the only people they can rely on is each other. But in a world full of broken promises and uncaring adults, is it possible for them to find happiness again? And will they ever find a place to call home?

The momentsThe silenceThe feelings in betweenThe thoughts hanging in the airThe stillness that breathesThe vibrant pauseThe truth within the meaningThe meaning within the poemThese are the secondsThat string us alongThat hold us captiveThat haunt us when they're goneThe memory of the momentFilled with words we didn't speak

In her second poetry collection, Pamela tackles such issues as love, loss, disappointment and hope. She gives readers a chronological narrative of her life, and beckons them to join her as she journeys all through the years.

How It Happened is Pamela Brown's first collection of poetry. It chronicles the author's personal descent into severe depression, and the struggle to find her way out. Written in darkness, this collection illuminates her path to the light.

The seven young members of the Blue Door Theatre Company are, at long last, professional actors. And they are now proudly in charge of the first commercial theatre in their hometown of Fenchester. But the day-to-day pressures of financing the theatre and choosing box-office attractions are soon eclipsed by an event that threatens to close the theatre almost as soon as it has opened. Following the characters from the classic of children's literature The Swish of the Curtain on an adventure which takes them far from the stage of the Blue Door Theatre, Blue Door Venture is the fourth book in the Blue Door series.

As the six older members of the Blue Door Theatre Company set off for drama school in London, they are united in their ambition to establish their own professional theatre back home in Fenchester. However, the bright lights of the West End prove so dazzling that at least one of the friends is soon tempted to abandon that ambition for the sake of her own promising career. Following the characters from the classic of children's literature The Swish of the Curtain through two exciting years of drama school and their first taste of professional success, Golden Pavements is the third book in the Blue Door series.

With the rest of the Blue Door Theatre Company in London training to be actors, poor Maddy has been left all alone in the little town of Fenchester. She longs to follow the others to the big city, but she is 12 years old, and she has maths homework to do. However, Maddy has never let a bit of schoolwork come between her and her dreams. When she finds that a famous Dutch film director is in town, she leaps at the opportunity: she will be a film star. But stardom isn't an easy life (in spite of the personal dressing room and the lovely costumes) and there are setbacks and difficulties along the way. But with such a stubborn and talented leading lady as Maddy, surely even Mrs Potter-Smith and the headmistress can't stop the show from going on? Maddy Alone is the second book in the Blue Door series, following on from the classic of children's literature The Swish of the Curtain.
