Biography

Ted Gross was born and raised in Manhattan, New York City, and in 1978, moved to Israel, and currently resides in Kadima, Israel.

Ted has worked in high tech for over 30 years and has had many academic articles on Chaos Theory, AI, Big Data & Innovation in various prestigious journals.

In 2002, Ted, as a reserve battlefield medic, ended up in Jenin, and the battles that took place there became front-page news all over the world and the book (as of yet unpublished) "Three Weeks In Jenin" is a graphic experience of the war in this village during that time.

"Ancient Tales, Modern Legends" is a collection of short stories written over a period of many years. Ted's love of the short story art-form is apparent in this book. His early reading was influenced by I.B. Singer, O'Henry, Cheever, and Vonnegut.

He is currently working on the "Chronicles of the Children of Heaven" (a fantasy work) which the first Volume, "A Tale That Is Told - Part 1," has been released on Kindle and in Paperback.

Over the years, short stories by Ted have been published in various venues. "A Pot Of Gold" was recently published by Istoria Books (in their "Lunch Reads 4) with excellent reviews and is available on all electronic devices as well.

Ted continues to write on high tech and AI theory and hopes to release the second volume of literary short stories soon.
