ABOUT ME

P.R. Garcia, the youngest of three, grew up in the rural landscapes of Michigan, where her lifelong love for science fiction took root at an early age. Her fascination with the unknown began when her parents took her to see the iconic film The Day the Earth Stood Still. From the moment Patricia Neal commanded the towering robot Gort with the words “Klaatu barada nikto,” Ms. Garcia’s imagination was ignited. As a child, she spent countless days with her dog exploring the fields behind her home, battling imaginary alien invaders and traveling to distant planets in her mind.


Her passion for science fiction deepened during high school with the premiere of Star Trek. While her peers attended football games, Ms. Garcia stayed home, captivated by the show’s visions of futuristic worlds and boundless exploration. In 1977, when Star Wars made its cinematic debut, her fascination grew even stronger, feeding her curiosity about life beyond Earth and the vast unknowns of the universe.


In her thirties, Ms. Garcia channeled her creativity into a different medium: basket weaving. She became an award-winning artisan, perfecting the craft for three decades. But her love for exploration—whether in the cosmos or through personal expression—never left her. After retiring, Ms. Garcia relocated to San Diego, California, where she volunteered as a guide on whale-watching boats for five years, sharing her passion for the Pacific Ocean’s majestic marine life with people from around the world.

 

At sixty-two, Ms. Garcia embarked on a new adventure: writing. Driven by her deep knowledge of science fiction and her vivid imagination, she penned her first book, Europa Awakenings. What began as a single novel soon grew into The Europa Saga, a ten-part series rich with intrigue, mystery, and suspense. The saga reimagines the legend of Atlantis, stretching across 6,000 years and following four generations of its inhabitants. Ms. Garcia’s unique take on the lost civilization, combined with her masterful storytelling, quickly propelled her into the ranks of best-selling authors.


In 2023, Ms. Garcia expanded her artistic endeavors by creating adult coloring books that feature the enchanting world of fairies and their whimsical homes. She also ventured into children’s literature with the introduction of the Granny Duck series, a delightful collection of stories featuring endearing duck grandmothers who perform extraordinary feats. Her ability to blend magic, adventure, and humor has brought joy to young readers, adding another dimension to her already multifaceted career.

From her early days spent imagining alien worlds to becoming a best-selling author and environmental advocate, P.R. Garcia has inspired readers with her visionary works. Her stories not only entertain but also spark critical reflection on the future of our planet.
