Cathy Cash Spellman
Sometimes I find an intriguing fact, while researching...like the story of the Spear of Longinus that pierced Christ's side on the Cross, and that discovery begins the adventure for me. Sometimes, a voice from my ancestral past seems to clamor to be heard, as in So Many Partings and An Excess of Love led me thorough my Irish past.
The Playground of the Gods was different... I was asked by Paramount's President Brandon Tartikoff to create that story to be a movie! When Brandon died suddenly, the film didn't get made, but the story, in my mind, was written scene by scene, more than chapter by chapter, which is why the action never slows down.
