JR Gershen-Siegel

Science fiction books are great, because you can fit so much into them: romance, westerns, adventure, horror, military, animal stories, children's, YA, fantasy, urban fantasy, chicklit, and more. This is why I write science fiction. I won the first annual Riverdale Avenue Books NaNoWriMo contest (2013) (thanks, Riverdale Avenue Books and Lori Perkins!). It was my first time being published, with a book called an LGBTQ Handmaid's Tale. Since then, I have contributed to a number of charity anthologies. Plus I'm in a bestselling anthology, 42 and Beyond (thanks, Hydra Productions!)! I have won NaNoWriMo every year since. I have been writing fiction of one form or another for about fifty years. My great love is science fiction, but I enjoy writing comedy, romance, and mystery. These elements often show up in my writing. Then there's the dystopian work, and the quirky bits. Be on the lookout for (except for in Untrustworthy, which isn't set on Earth) the following Easter eggs: * Someone from Boston (which is where I live) * Someone named Shapiro (I have no idea why this name has stuck in my work, but it has) The future is a strange and fascinating place. Let's explore it together. I greatly appreciate your unwavering support and kindness. You lift me up. But you better buckle up, 'cause it's a wild ride.
