Gordon grew up telling stories, but they were mostly of the fib variety. To the bemusement and disgust of his middle school teachers and classmates, he delighted in writing gross-out fiction in English class. The aim was to write horror, but he only managed to write horribly. Decades passed and hairs grayed, and all the while he continued telling stories. These days he divides his time between parenting, writing, and waiting for a general AI to take over the human race.
