The Final Performance of the Amazing Ralphie
Patricia Oren Kearney Cadigan was born on September 10, 1953 in Schenectady, New York, and grew up in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. She was educated in theater at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and studied science fiction and science fiction writing at the University of Kansas under science fiction author and editor James E. Gunn.
Cadigan met her first husband, Rufus Cadigan, while in college; they divorced shortly after she graduated from KU in 1975. That same year, Cadigan joined the convention committee for MidAmeriCon, the 34th World Science Fiction Convention being held in Kansas City, Missouri, over the 1976 Labor Day weekend; she served on the committee as the convention’s guest liaison to writer guest of honor Robert A. Heinlein, as well as helped to develop programming for the convention. At the same time, she also worked for fantasy writer Tom Reamy at his Nickelodeon Graphics Arts Service studio, where she daily typset various jobs. She also prepared the type galleys for MidAmeriCon’s various publications, including the convention’s hardcover program book. Following Reamy’s death on November 4, 1977, Cadigan went to work as a writer for Kansas City, Missouri’s Hallmark Cards company. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, she also edited the small press fantasy and science fiction magazines Chacal and later Shayol with her second husband, Arnie Fenner.
Cadigan published her first professional story, “Death from Exposure” in the February 1978 issue of Shayol. Her success as an author encouraged her to become a full-time writer in 1987.
Pat Cadigan emigrated to London in 1996, where she is married to her third husband, Christopher Fowler (not to be confused with the author of the same name). She became a UK citizen in late 2014.
In 2013, Cadigan announced that she had been diagnosed with cancer. She underwent surgery after an early diagnosis, suffered a relapse some years after, and recovered after extensive chemotherapy.
