Edita A. Petrick
My first novel, written when I was a teenager, is still stored in a carton box–all 1,200 pages of it. Back in those days, my interest in science fiction and fantasy produced several novels that served me as training ground for what I subsequently came to write–mystery, romance, suspense and thrillers. And I'm just venturing into writing erotic romance.and am finding it very difficult indeed.
I like strong female characters with an irreverent sense of humor, challenged by hardships and adversity that attack not just on the emotional but also on the professional level. My characters are driven to the proverbial brink where there's nothing left but to give up–or laugh at the adversity, then start to fight back for their lives. I also like to construct clever plots with scientific or supernatural twists. It's a legacy of my love of science fiction and fantasy.
I live north of Toronto, with my young adults and our two Wheaten terriers. I am an engineer working in the stormwater management and technology sector.
