About the author…

This is the web site for author Gregory Norman Bossert.  (That’s me!)

I began writing fiction a couple of years ago, after artist Iain McCaig dared (and inspired) me to write a screenplay.  I wrote two, and then a handful of stories, and show no signs of stopping.

I have two upcoming stories in Asimov’s Science Fiction magazine; Lost Wax will appear in the August Issue, and Bloom sometime later in the year.

My story The Telling appeared in Beneath Ceaseless Skies #109 in November 2012; it was on the Locus 2012 Recommended Reading list and was recommended for the Hugo Award by the SF Signal podcast.

My stories The Union of Soil and Sky, Slow Boat, and Freia in the Sunlight appeared in Asimov’s Science Fiction in 2010; all three made Honorable Mention in Gardner Dozois’s Year’s Best Science Fiction, and “Slow Boat” was reprinted in Russian in the November 2011 issue of Esli Magazine.

l attended the Clarion 2010 Writer’s Workshop in San Diego, with Delia Sherman, Ellen Kushner, George RR Martin, Dale Bailey, Samuel R Delany, Ann and Jeff VanderMeer and seventeen extraordinary new writers.  Click here for updates on my amazing Clarion colleagues!

I work as a researcher and designer for motion pictures; my credits include Beowulf, A Christmas Carol, and Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.  I currently work in the story department at Lucasfilm Animation.

I work as well on independent films.  I designed and animated the Myster Odd book trailer for Jeff and Ann VanderMeer (as well as designing their Cheeky Frawg Books website), created the One Minute Weird Tales series, and did audio and video for several stop-motion shorts by Tony McVey.

I design and build experimental musical instruments, and play music with them, for some definition of “play” and “music”. You can find pictures and audio samples on my other website, Sudden Sound Studios.
