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.
