Hi, I’m Pat Hauldren. My friends call me “Alley”. Welcome to my virtual home.
I crash landed several years ago in Grand Prairie, Texas (which is neither grand nor a prairie).
I write Speculative Fiction and call myself a Mythologist because when I world-build, I have to create the legends and myths of my world. Even when writing contemporary fantasy, I delve into human history, legends, myths, and fables to weed out those intriguing nuggets that suggest gem of possibilities for a fantastical world or culture.
Currently, I’m a board member and newsletter editor of my local RWA chapter, NTRWA, on the conference committee for the 2010 DFW Writers’ Workshop Conference, and co-founder and moderator of the North Texas Speculative Fiction Workshop.
Not only do I write Speculative Fiction, but I also write articles, poetry, and short stories. I’m the
Writing Examiner , the Fort Worth Hockey Examiner, and the Dallas Speculative Fiction Examiner. For more about my freelance writing and editing, see EditAlley.com.
My favorite sport is hockey, though I don’t play it, I do dress up in hockey stuff and support my local Dallas Stars. See my Hockey page for pix and fun stuff hockey-wise. (My 2nd favorite sport is reading, and my 3rd is sleeping. Also, check out my HousewifeHockey.com for the non-pro rants and raves on all things hockey.
This year, 2009, I’ve attended several writer’s workshops already: ConDFW, DFW Writers Conference, Bob Mayer’s Writers Workshop, Bob Mayer’s Warrior Writer Workshop. And have a few lined up for the rest of the year: Fencon, World Fantasy, Dave Farland’s Write That Novel! Workshop. Hope to see you at one of them!
Did I mention I love to travel? My BFF lives in The Netherlands, so I’m becoming quite the worldly geek. Check out my Blog and Photos pages for more pictures and news. Planning on a trip to California this October. Doing World Fantasy in San Jose, then driving down to San Diego to meet up with BFF, then we’ll do a Thelma & Louise trip around the American Southwest!
You can also find me on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, LiveJournal, Xanga, Skype, and Yahoo! as alleypat.
