Born in Westward Virginia, Pat Graversen published her first novel, INVISIBLE Fire, with Fawcett Books in 1981; THE FAGIN came out in hardcover from A&W Publishers in 1982. After a hiatus during which she concentrated on raising her family, she published DOLLIES in 1990 and STONES in 1991, both through Zebra Books.Graversen and then signed a five-book contract with Zebra. Nether its terms, the publisher brought out SWEET BLOOD and a paperback edition of THE FAGIN in 1992, and both BLACK ICE and PRECIOUS BLOOD in 1993.
A short story by Graversen, "Ups and Downs," appeared in DARK SEDUCTIONS, an anthology of erotic horror put out past Zebra in 1993. She collaborated with her son Paul Erik on ii young adult novels, GHOST Train (published past Zebra,) and YIN-YANG. Her final novel was GRAYTHINGS, the last under her five book contract.
Graversen grew up in West Virginia, which she recalled equally a "mystical, wonderful place," and traveled extensively before she married and settled in Toms River, New Bailiwick of jersey. Ii of her children had entered school before she starting time considered writing fiction.
"When I took the kids to the park, I would bring along a notebook and write at that place," she recalled.
That first year, she turned out well-nigh xl curt stories. She sent them to small magazines, and most were rejected. Finally, in 1979, Nuggett published "Lenny Sent Me," a "psycho story" about an ex-con who hunts downwards the sister of a man he befriended in prison.
She then completed her starting time book manuscript, INVISIBLE FIRE, and connected with an agent who sold it to Fawcett. Although the novel had a few plot elements in mutual with Stephen King'south FIRESTARTER, it was no imitation; her volume actually came out outset.
Her adjacent publication, THE FAGIN, featured a villain who kidnapped minor boys for a Satanic cult. Graversen began to develop a specialty --child-in-peril plots, usually involving the supernatural.
DOLLIES drew upon her brief stint as a real estate amanuensis. "I showed one house that scared me," she said. "When I took the people downstairs, at that place was a room in the basement with all these dolls in it. In that location was besides a lite swinging from the ceiling, every bit if someone else had just been downward at that place.
"Sometimes it'due south only a pocket-sized thing that gives yous the idea. When I get one, I write it down in my thought book. It could exist a name, or a sentence I hear."
STONES tells the story of a mother and her adolescent daughter who are menaced by the spirit of an ancient fertility goddess. More than Graversen's previous books, information technology incorporated a large dose of offbeat sexuality, as the innocent immature girl takes on the personality of the female demon.
The writer stated that she got the idea from a dream. "I saw a minor woman made of rock, with dark-green pare. I stayed scared by that all one summer."
She based Black Water ice on the true story of a child who drowned in a lake nigh her home. Many readers told her that volume was their favorite, because it was a "expert, old-fashioned ghost story."
Pat also authored a large book of published poetry, and three romance novels. I of her romance novels, Eye ON TRIAL (NAL Rapture Romance, 1982) sold to several foreign markets.
Graversen founded the Garden State Horror Writers in 1989 to encourage others in New Jersey who aspire to work in her genre. She also belonged to the Authors' Lodge, the Authors League and the Horror Writers Association.
Because she appeared to be such a typical middle-class wife and mother, people assumed she wrote something more than conventional, such as romance. She also sensed a cavalier attitude from some men in her profession, but said, "I don't believe in being held back because I'm a adult female."
"I've liked the women horror writers I've read. They've been ignored in the past, merely they're catching upward. Ten years ago, at that place were hardly any. Now you lot can at least name a half dozen. Women are getting adept contracts now, too," she pointed out, using her own five-book
