Hi, I’m Cathryn Cade. When I was a girl, my family had no
TV. I think my stepfather was afraid he might have to listen to something
besides his beloved opera in the evenings. And yes, that was just as much fun
for us kids as you are imagining.
That left one escape for this girl. Books! I learned to love reading, cozy in the bedroom I shared with
my sister, door closed and probably a pillow over my head to drown out the
mezzo soprano warbling in the living room.
One of my favorite stories was the abridged version of Tarzan
by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Here’s the 60’s cover. Is that not awesome-sauce?
Tarzan’s knuckles aren’t even white from hanging onto that vine, and he looks
so relaxed as he flies through the air. (Y’know, I think this same artist must
have painted some of the early Harlequin romance covers. Put a suit on Big T
and there you have The Masterful Executive).
But, back to my childhood fantasies. Tarzan had a great life. He got to live in a huge tree house, never had to brush his teeth, and swung through the primeval forest on vines. How cool was that to a little cowgirl from the prairies of Montana? Pretty darn cool. I’d never seen a real vine, and wasn’t real clear on how they came to be hanging from those trees, but I wanted to be Tarzan’s Jane, I knew that.
So, when I grew up and became a real author, I finally saw
my chance.
