Greg van Eekhout

Greg van Eekhout is a science fiction and fantasy writer. He grew up in Los Angeles and attended UCLA, where he received a Bachelor's in English. He earned a Master's in Educational Media and Computers at Arizona State, and worked for a time designing multimedia. He currently lives in San Diego, California.

He attended the writing workshop Viable Paradise in 1999. His first professionally published story, "Wolves Till the World Goes Down," (2001) appeared in the anthology "Starlight 3" and was later reprinted in "Fantasy: The Best of 2001". His story "In the Late December" [http://www.strangehorizons.com/2003/20031222/december.shtml (online)] (2003) was nominated for Nebula Award for Best Short Story. His work has also appeared in a number of places, including "Asimov's Science Fiction", "Realms of Fantasy", the "Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction", and "Strange Horizons".

His first novel, "Norse Code", is scheduled for publication in summer 2009, from Bantam Books.

His parents are of Indo (Dutch-Indonesian) extraction. His last name is pronounced with the "emphasis on the EEK. The HOUT part rhymes with OUT, as in, 'Hey, I'm going OUT for some guacamole.'" The English translation of "Van Eekhout" is "Of Oakwood".
