The Author
Gregory Alan Burhoe lives in New Brunswick, Canada with his cat. Besides fiction, he also enjoys hiking, visual arts and poetry.
Burhoe began writing fiction at the age of six, in the form of fantasy comic books. He spent much of his childhood drawing and daydreaming of fantastical worlds. Inspired by the works of Edgar Allen Poe in his early teenage years, Burhoe began writing poetry and short fiction. By the age of seventeen he had piles of manuscripts in boxes, stacked in his closet and over his bedroom floor. After years of exploring various creative fields, which included visual and performance arts, he returned to what he truly loved: storytelling.
The characters and universe of Sector Storm © have been with him for a long time, before finally coming together. It asks questions and explores the ideologies which attempt to unravel them, rather than presenting the reader with a moral and a story wrapped around it to justify that moral. The intellectually honest approach of exploring unanswered questions seems far more interesting and far more rewarding than following the familiar formula.
The Under-dwellers © is a supernatural thriller which questions reality, morality and the depths of the human mind.
Why presume that the reader is not intelligent and is incapable of pondering such questions and arriving at his or her own conclusions? Isn't the question, the journey itself, richer and of greater importance than contrived or imposed assertions about reality? The truth fragments through ideology, stirred awake by the questions; the pursuit of the answers as of yet undiscovered. Life is still a mystery. Truth need not be stranger than fiction, so long as fiction obeys its mystique. For is the exploration of truth not the very purpose of artistic writing?
Burhoe has returned to writing comedy, which he always loved to write. No matter what the genre, Burhoe loves to write the kinds of stories he always wanted to read.
About His Father
His father, Brian Alan Burhoe, is also a writer. His first published work was a science fiction short story, Ornithanthropus, published in IF Magazine in December, 1971. It was reprinted in a couple World’s Best Science Fiction Stories of the Year anthologies (the only story to be featured in both collections for that year.) He still gets letters from fans of this story to this day. He published a number of other stories, and articles in recent years. He is currently working on a novel called Civilized Bears ©.
