Josephs, Gregory: - Gregory Josephs is an author of speculative and LGBT fiction who spends a lot of time indulging his insatiable curiosity-about everything. He believes in self-love, authentic food, and that procrastination is the product of an intensely creative mind. Though he was raised in Colorado, Gregory spent many of his summers in Wisconsin, where he fell in love with the idea of everything North. Growing up in the west, at some point there was more hot sauce than blood running through his veins, and thanks to his foodie parents it's a rare day that he doesn't down a jalapeño. He's a foodie too, now (with a serious addiction to cooking magazines). When he isn't writing he's likely in the kitchen fermenting something-bread dough, cheese, sauerkraut, and of course, peppers! Unable to resist the allure of a northern climate, Gregory relocated to Massachusetts in his early twenties, where he's lived ever since. He is passionate about the local food movement, and has been volunteering one day a week at an organic community farm since 2016. Alongside his photographer husband, Gregory regularly collects fiestaware and sips whiskey while entertaining his two rambunctious cats, and a dog. He can't imagine a better life.
