Pamela Mahoney Tsigdinos (Sig-din-us) is an award-winning author, a blogger, and an infertility survivor.

In her first book, Silent Sorority, Pamela shares with naked candor, humor and poignancy the intense and, at times, absurd experience of living barren in an era of designer babies and helicopter parents. She wrote Silent Sorority to give those experiencing problems in the conception department -- and their family, friends and colleagues – an honest look at the often unpredictable and lasting impact that infertility (and the stigma associated with it) can have on once carefully laid life plans. She also explores the complex effects the experience can have on relationships and identity.

Pamela first dealt with the confusion and weirdness of infertility in isolation. This was a time not so long ago (pre-"Dr Google") when most information on the topic was available via the library, book store or the U.S. Postal Service. It was only after she and her husband decided they were done being human lab experiments that she began to realize that overcoming infertility is about much more than making a baby. It's about coming to terms, when nature and science find their limits, with a life different than one so often taken for granted.

At the same time she was writing Silent Sorority she started her blog Coming2Terms. Her international readership includes those who have never stepped foot in a fertility clinic, those pursuing fertility treatment, those who became mothers after treatment or adoption, and those, who like her, are building lives without once sought after children.

Pamela and her blog have been profiled in the New York Times, The Globe and Mail and Goodkin. Her writing is featured in a variety of online outlets including The New York Times Motherlode Blog, Fertility Authority, DivineCaroline, Open Salon, MORE.com and BlogHer, just to name a few.

She earned a B.A. in English Literature at the University of Michigan and an M.A. in Organizational Communication at Wayne State University in Detroit. Pamela spent nearly a decade working in the auto industry before relocating to live and work in Silicon Valley. When she’s not writing she enjoys travel and discussing history, Indie films, documentaries, politics, current events and literature with her husband, family, and friends.
