Behind the Scenes with Pam Zagarenski A message from the creator of The Whisper, plus a sneak peek at an early sketch.

I do all of my sketch work for my books in my journals. I have lots of ideas. ..some things become 'real' and others don’t. I just play, and I write, and eventually the pieces come together to form something in paint and words. I will write story ideas. I also write things that happen in my life. On this particular day I wrote about the black widow spider who appeared on my studio window with her egg sack while creating The Whisper. I imagined she had come to inspire me with words, and I named her Emily Bronte. ..(Charlotte-of course was her famous spider sister). She inspired me with her glass like shiny black and red beauty - mingled with the fear that she simultaneously instilled in my heart just by being who she was - she was a marvelous enigma. And yes, of course I will never know the truth of it all - who can really ever say what is true? I love to imagine. And maybe just in the act of imagining, one actually makes the stories real. I dedicated this book in part to her, and I imagine she’s proud.
