P.R. Garcia grew up in rural Michigan and is the youngest of three. She became a lover of Science Fiction at an early age when her parents took her to the movies. She was hooked the moment she heard Patricia Neal tell the robot Gort in The Day the Earth Stood Still "Klaatu barada nikto." Inspired by what was possible, she and her dog spent many days in the fields behind her home fighting aliens and investigating new planets. Her love continued to grow, and in high school, the series Star Trek hit television, boosting her fascination with what might be out there. Her friends still comment on how she skipped the football games to stay home and watch each episode.

In her thirties, she became an award-winning basket weaver and continued in this craft for three decades. Upon retiring from her job of thirty years, she moved to San Diego, California. She volunteered for five years as a guide on the Whale Watching Boats, teaching people from around the world about the Pacific Ocean's aquatic life.At sixty-two, Ms. Garcia began to write her Europa Saga, a compelling, ten-part sci-fi series of intrigue, suspense, and mystery. It is a new and fresh retelling of the story of Atlantis and its inhabitants. The books span six thousand years and three generations. Her story launched her into the world of a best-selling author.
