Why I Wrote This: I’ve always loved Joseph Campbell’s “The Hero’s Journey.” However, as a woman, I felt a bit left out of its narrative structure. That’s when I found Maureen Murdock’s The Heroine’s Journey. Murdock’s diagrams have inspired PROMISE OF EVE and its strong female protagonist who subverts the trope of the male-dominated digital space, as her right and left brain work in unison to survive and ultimately thrive. Poems by Emily Dickinson weave throughout the story, and inform our protagonist and the intensely private place she inhabits—the “landscape of spirit” and “undiscovered continent” that Dickinson so eloquently and enigmatically penned.
