Biography

Gregory Attaway lives in Irving, Texas (a suburb of Dallas), which suits his literary leanings well since the city is supposedly named for Washington Irving, famed writer of Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. He has lived in and around Dallas for most of his life, having also lived briefly on both coasts. A graduate of the University of North Texas, Gregory lives with his two dogs, Cara and Lois, and his imaginary friends.

A writer since the second grade, Gregory’s completed projects include The Glen Headwood Show – exclusively available for free to subscribers to his e-mail list. Sign up at www.gregoryattaway.com!

He has written three other books in The Great Ones series – Weston, Joe, and Freshmankind. The fourth book, Dreams, will be released on December 26, 2018. It started as a series of six screenplays written in the early 2000s, and there are more books coming in the next few years.

Other stories are in the works as well. For information on upcoming releases and other updates, make sure to sign up for his e-mail list (and grab your free book).

Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up around Dallas and Fort Worth. My earliest memories are from living in Atlanta, but I moved away when I was young. The most obvious way this has effected my writing is that two of my books take place in this setting. Many of my characters originate from there as well.
When did you first start writing?
Second grade. Before that i wanted to be an artist, but I had no talent. It started in second grade, but I only wrote a few things then, and it was all for school. By third grade, I was writing a "book" about my class's recess adventures. It was slightly dramatized. I remember a line: "The girl's team has taken over the swing set and burned part of our fort." That's how things were in the Eighties.
