My name is Greg van Eekhout. (Greg is my first name, van Eekhout is my last name, and my middle name, if you’re interested, is John.) I’m the author of the middle-grade novels Kid vs. Squid, The Boy at the End of the World, and the mythological fantasy novel Norse Code, as well as about two-dozen short stories. Right now I’m writing the first of three modern-day fantasy novels for Tor Books. I live in San Diego with my long-time partner Lisa and a crazy little dog named Dozer, who, as I type this, is trying to screw his head into the carpet. Or something. I’m not always sure what he’s doing, to tell the truth. He’s a weird dude.
