On St. Patrick’s Day, 2013, I discovered a large orb weaver in my garden. Hate spiders? Fear spiders?
Let me persuade you to feel otherwise in My Charlotte: Patty’s Story, a short, sweet memoir about a life in a garden and one writer’s first inspiration. The ebook includes my first science fiction story, Arachne, published by Omni Magazine worldwide, by Hayakawa in Japan, and by Replik in Sweden.
Reading Charlotte’s Web, the classic children’s book, inspired me to write my own novels at the age of eight. My quest to discover the meaning of the spider led me to Jungian psychology, myths, and symbols.
The classic myth of Arachne became the subtext of my first story, Arachne, published by Omni, a magazine with a circulation of five million at the time, by Hayakawa in Japan, and by Replik in Sweden.
My first two early cyberpunk novels followed, Arachne and Cyberweb, published by William Morrow, Avon Books, and Eos Books, and by Hayakawa in Japan. I am presently working on an adaptation of those books as The Quester Trilogy.
So there you have it, my friends. Plenty here about reading, writing, my roots as a writer, my journey and struggle to become a writer, the life-long process of inspiration and research, how I broke into the professional market, and my first professional sale.
And the amazing world of spiders!
