A proposito di questo titolo

 In this episode from the first season of Re-Creative, Mark A. Rayner and I revisit childhood with Canadian author Arlene F. Marks, as Arlene introduces us to one of her favourite paintings, Children’s Games by Flemish Renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder. You can see it pictured below. The painting shows 230 children playing 83 different games from the renaissance period. It resonates with Arlene because it’s important to her that each character she writes in her novels has their own story.As a speculative fiction writer, the painting has also helped Arlene with her world building. Naturally, a book focuses on a detail of a larger picture, but there is a whole universe outside of what she can show in a single book, or even a trilogy.Arlene has been writing since the age of 6, and has no plans to stop. A veteran teacher of the craft, she has authored two literacy programs for the classroom. Her short stories have appeared online and in print, notably in an anthology of re-imagined fairy tales, Grimmer Tales Volume One. She is also the author of the Sic Transit Terra space opera series (from Edge Publishing) and Adventures in Godhood, her first of several recent releases from our friends at Brain Lag Publishing.Arlene’s short story collection, Imaginary Friends, and her paranormal mystery Weekends Can Be Murder came out in 2022 to great reviews. A new series, The Nash’terel, launched in May with the release of The Earthborn. It will continue in November with The Bloodstone.As Arlene mentions in this episode, her newest book (as of this recording, anyway) is The Earthborn! Amazing Stories describes The Earthborn as “a light-hearted Philip K. Dick novel on steroids.” Author Ed Greenwood warns: “Buckle up, reader! You’re in for a wild ride.”Arlene lives with her husband on the shore of beautiful Nottawasaga Bay in Ontario, where she dreams of one day having a tidy, well-organized office.You can subscribe to this podcast completely for free.
