John Norman, born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1931, is the creator of
the Gorean Saga, the longest-running series of adventure novels in
science fiction history. Starting in December 1966
with Tarnsman of Gor, the series was put on hold after its
twenty-fifth installment, Magicians of Gor, in 1988, when DAW
refused to publish its successor, Witness of Gor. After
several unsuccessful attempts to find a trade publishing outlet,
the series was brought back into print in 2001. Norman has also
produced a separate science fiction series, the Telnarian
Histories, plus two other fiction works (Ghost
Dance and Time Slave), a nonfiction paperback
(Imaginative Sex), and a collection of thirty short stories,
entitled Norman Invasions. The Totems of Abydos was
published in spring 2012.
All of Norman’s work is available both in print and as ebooks. The
Internet has proven to be a fertile ground for the imagination of
Norman’s ever-growing fan base, and at Gor
Chronicles (www.gorchronicles.com), a website specially
created for his tremendous fan following, one may read
everything there is to know about this unique fictional
culture.
Norman is married and has three children.
