Welcome to my self-promotional sandbox.
I write science fiction and fantasy, but I've been known to dabble in
mainstream and mysteries. My first novel, Pandemonium, appeared in 2008, and
next book, The Devil's Alphabet, is coming out in the fall of 2009. More

My first novel, Pandemonium, was published by Del Rey Books in
August, 2008.
Award season!
Thanks to Pandemonium, I've won the 2009 Crawford award, given each year by critics
and scholars of the fantasy field to "an outstanding new fantasy writer whose
first book was published the previous year."

The book is also a finalist for three awards to be given out in the summer of
'09:
The Shirley Jackson Award, for best dark fantasy or horror novel, the
Locus Award for best first novel, and the
Mythopoeic Award, for
best adult fantasy novel.
Reviews, interviews, and opening chapter
Publisher's Weekly's Weekly gave the
book a starred review and said: "Believable characters, a multilayered plot and smooth prose define Gregory’s darkly ambitious debut novel."
(More).
And the dozen other reviews have been pretty darn nice, too.
See the Pandemonium page for details, reviews, and the opening chapter.
