Produktbeschreibung

The Genius of Saardu is a beautifully imagined story of a scientist in a pristine world troubled by a mysterious and looming ecosystem disaster. Compromised by a forbidden affair with the Saar king's chosen, the genius of Saardu is imprisoned just when his intellectual powers are most needed to save their world. The situation is further complicated when Saardu becomes a refuge sought by hundreds of humans who are suffering a neurotic condition caused by generations lived in a spaceship.

This is the author's first draft of her first novel, written in 1984. The original manuscript was titled The Ills of Saardu and was registered in 1985 with the US Copyright Office. This e-book includes a photo of the certified title page, Registration Number TXu000197171, stamped 17 May 1985. This is a slightly corrected copy of that manuscript. The title has since been changed by the author, and this edition features a new preface and afterword contributed by the author.

Autorenporträt

Carma is a California girl who grew up in the middle of eight monsters who learned to be creatively human in the home of Ruth Gagne and Jon-Jon Chan.

Mentored in the ancient art of storytelling by UCLA's quotable screenwriting Professor Richard Walter, and wrote seven original screenplays. Her first, titled Saardu: The Adventure Begins, won awards in international screenwriting contests and earned the Kids First! endorsement. She loves visual storytelling media and reviews favorites at IMDb.

Hobbies include creative writing, gardening, genealogy, and photography. She loves visiting the Redwoods, Olympic, Yellowstone, Yosemite and other state and national parks. Her first overseas travel was to Maui, London, and Ireland (Cork County) in 2019.

In her early twenties she was lead vocalist in a rock band named Raucous Rogue that performed in and around Salt Lake City. To celebrate her 25th birthday, Carma went skydiving and describes the free fall as thrilling. She did not like the landing, but no bones broke. She has also enjoyed snow skiing in California, Utah, and Whistler, Canada.

Carma lives with husband Oliver in sunny southern California. So far, she has survived the COVID-19 pandemic through an abundance of caution and triple vaccination due to age and health concerns. She is proud Mom to two awesome adults and Gramma Carmels to three grandkids. Her latest work is a family love story about her Gagne grandparents, titled "Albert Loved Sylvia."

Her Gagne ancestors arrived in Quebec, Canada, in the 1600s and were among the founding families of that city and the Isle of Orleans. Carma is a direct descendant of many noble women historically listed as Filles du Roi, or King's Daughters. Among her notable many times great-grandparents are Jean Beaudet and Marie Grandin, and Louis Gagne and Marie Michel. Guillaume Couture (1618-1701), a celebrated diplomat and prominent historical figure in Quebec history, is her 9th great-grandfather. She looks forward to a trip to Quebec to visit historical landmarks and experience her ancestral roots.

She gets her zen from her beloved Chinese dad.

Carma has written seven screenplays, a series of children's picture books teaching appreciation of natural wonders, technology and artistry, The Saardu Trilogy science fantasy novels for incurable daydreamers of all ages and dimensions, and collections of poetry and art.
