G. R. Holton
On a warm summer morning in 1962, G. R. Holton was born in Norwood, MA and is the second eldest in a family of eight children. He is happily married and living in eastern Tennessee. He has two daughters, a son, a step-daughter and a step-son and is also the proud grandfather of four beautiful girls.
G. R. took an interest in computer games to pass the time, and then one day he made a friend on one of those online games with chat that turned out to be the wife of a screenwriter and movie director. They became great friends and after a few weeks of talking, he met her husband online and hit it off quickly. He gave him a couple of his screenplays to read and he was hooked. He knew at that point he wanted to try writing.
One night, after days of not being able to come up with a story to write, he had a dream of three teens on another planet and in a cave. This was it; he knew what had to be done. He sat down at the computer and over the course of three months he had written his first book, Soleri. He knew he couldn’t stop there, so he continued writing and Guardians Alliance was born. He has also published a children’s picture book called, Squazles about not judging others and did the book design for Cameron Titus’s A to Z book: A Habitat for Humanity Project. His latest, Deep Screams, is a science fiction/horror/paranormal thriller that has become the Books and Authors.net’s Best Science Fiction for 2011. G. R. has also won The Author’s Shows “50 Best Writers You Should be Reading for 2011”.
