An emotional roller-coaster in a merry-go-round world, Pam is a 67-year-old emerging author and red-level neurodiverse extrovert with a bunch of mental health diagnoses. In Five Fat Sausages she shares her journey through childhood PTSD and other traumas, reclaiming her life in unconventional ways. Pam’s extraordinary ability to be both playful and witty provides levity and laugh-out-loud moments, even in the darkest chapters of her life. Her refreshing honesty may help others find truth and hope within her story and a source of strength within themselves.
Praise for Five Fat Sausages:
With its blend of heartfelt intimacy and sharp wit, this tale of one woman’s battle to live will take you on an emotional roller-coaster you won’t forget. —- Mel Kelleher, Clinical Psychologist
One of the funniest, saddest, open, life-changing books I have read in a very long time … an irreverent look at how many of us cope with those life challenges and shows that there is always hope even in the darkest moments of our lives. —- Karyn (Amazon)

Pam’s debut show, Dys-Order-Ed, performed at the 2024 Melbourne Fringe Festival and based on stories from her life, is available to watch here. Hannah Francis, from her five-star review in The Age, Melbourne, says, “As a first-time performer at 67, Pam is a natural, and has rich life experience to draw from. With charisma and humour we traverse the highs and visceral lows, the fleeting moments of control followed by disarray and the cruelties of medical and legal systems that willingly fail to ‘see’ her … Wood emerges triumphant to reclaim herself, her diagnoses, her sexuality, her hard-won freedom.”
