Her love affair with words began at the age of six when she learned to read. Her favorite book was \"The Call of the Wild\" by Jack London. It was the first book she owned, given to her as a Christmas present from her grandmother. It sits on her bookshelf, and she loves it as much now, as she did then. Bouziden began writing and publishing magazine articles in 1985. She has published hundreds of articles, which have appeared in numerous magazines such as Writer's Digest, Woman's Day, The Writer, Personal Journaling, Byline, Lady's Circle, ParentLife, OKC Business, and many others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePam Grout\u003c\/b\u003e has written more books than she can count on both hands. Despite her literary agent's advice to build a platform (which means pick a genre and stick with it), she has written books about breathing, God, creativity, the environment, the mind-boggling power of one person to make a difference, and Colorado, to name but a few topics. \u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 268\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 02, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516055904563,"sku":"9781493092994","price":35.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/niSvxcHcyQ9781493092994.webp?v=1781847430","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/kansas-curiosities-quirky-characters-roadside-oddities-other-offbeat-stuff-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
