About me
Introduction:
Hello friends! My name is Brandi Peterson and I'm from Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain. I grew up here in Oklahoma City with my parents and my dear brother. I am a wife and mother of three kids, the oldest of which is a teenage boy we adopted through the foster care system. My younger two are my biological daughters.
As a kid, I remember my father binging on episodes of Star Trek, the original series. When the Star Wars movies got re-released in the 90's, Dad raced to get tickets for me and my brother so we could all go enjoy them just like he did when he was a kid. So to read and write science fiction today brings back those memories of spending time with my dad. He is a happily retired firefighter now by the way.
One of my professors at the University of Oklahoma taught me a lot about writing mythology and heroism and I adopted this style of writing as my own. And while I am nowhere near the level I would like to be as a writer, I know that I would not be where I am today without her advice.
All this to explain to you why my first novel, Legend of Sylphar, the Silver Queen is a sci-fi story based on the Greek mythology of Theseus and the Minotaur. I make this clear in the beginning as we see Ariadne's mother actually reading an excerpt of the story to a group of children just before a tragedy hits.
Thank you!
