EUROPA Awakenings

P. R. Garcia was born during the winter of 1951 in Monroe County, Michigan, the youngest of three children. She attended Western Michigan University, where she majored in zoology. After college, she became an award-winning basket-weaver, carrying on the tradition of her maternal grandmother, Margaret Dark Feather Jacobs. In 2008, she moved to southern California and became a volunteer at the Birch Aquarium and a guide on the Gray whale touring boats. The following year she joined the Whalers, a dedicated group of volunteers from the San Diego Natural History Museum whose love of the Pacific cetaceans and other marine life matched her own. As a guide on the Hornblower and Flagship whale-watching boats for the Gray and Blue whale seasons, she introduced people from around the world to the wonders of the world of the Pacific cetaceans. In 2012, at the age of sixty-one, she got the crazy idea of writing a novel. Sitting down at her computer, she began to write the Europa Saga. Spanning over nine thousand years, it is perhaps the only five-generational Science Fiction epic story ever written. She combined her knowledge and love of ocean mammals and science fiction, astronomers’ belief that life exists in the oceans beneath the ice shield of Europa (Jupiter’s ice moon) and the legend of Atlantis to create a new trilogy of an alien race who we know as Atlantians. Using legends and known ancient landmarks from Earth’s past, she wove a story of intrigue, mystery, betrayal, magic and adventure. Her books offer alternative theories for Puma Punku, the Nazca Lines, the Costa Rica spheres and much more. In 2014, Ms. Garcia added three more books to the line, continuing the story. Then, in 2015, appalled by the amount of trash being dumped into our oceans and the devastation it caused marine life, she decided to so something and added three more books. This time Prince Enok, Queen Europa’s son, fought the problems facing our world today - global warming, deforestation, water and air pollution, species extinction, plastic contamination and corporate greed. In 2016, Ms. Garcia became an international bestseller and moved back to Monroe County. She extended the story line to Prince Enok’s twin daughters. Their story takes place on Mars, where they learn a secret the red planet has been hiding for thousands of years. The tenth book of the Europa Saga Spring, 2017.
