Greg Guerin

Greg Guerin is an Australian writer and scientist who was raised by accident in a vat and corrected at various educational institutions before being unleashed on an unsuspecting society. He now has a family with four kids and works as a research ecologist studying where plants live and why they'd want to be there in the first place. When he is not being beaten up by his offspring or quibbling with them over who ate the chocolate, he likes to drum, tap and write fiction. His short fiction has appeared in Aurealis, Borderlands and several ezines. His 2005 story ‘The Deviation Road’ was Highly Commended in the Aurealis Award for best horror short story. His fiction writing now focuses on longer works, with two science fiction novels taking up most of the spare bits of his brain, while in more analytical pursuits he continues to add to over fifty research publications.
