About
THE CONFLUENCE is now available from Amazon or your local independent bookseller
Hi! I’m glad you’re here!
My name is Gregory Josephs, and I’m an author of speculative and LGBT fiction who spends a lot of time indulging my insatiable curiosity—about everything. I believe in self-love, authentic food, and that procrastination is the product of an intensely creative mind.
My new novel, The Confluence, is now available from Amazon, and through your local independent bookseller via IndieBound. My debut novel The Education of Ryan Gregori is available now in paperback and digital editions from all major retailers.

Who am I?
Great question! Here’s my bio:
I was born in Wisconsin in the middle of an unusually long, humid heatwave in July of 1984. Though my parents and I moved to northern Colorado a short two years later, I spent many of my summers happily swimming and biking around the lakes and rivers of the Northwoods with my cousins. During these formative stays I learned to enjoy warm, humid nights, hate the sweltering days, and fall in love with the idea of everything North.
Growing up in the southwest, at some point there was more hot sauce than blood running through my veins. Early on, my foodie parents instilled a love of Mexican cuisine and anything with peppers. That love continues to this day, and even though I currently live about as far from Mexico as one can get in the lower 48, it’s a rare day that I don’t down a jalapeño.
I’m a foodie too, now, with an unslakable curiosity about how food is made and where it comes from. When I’m not writing, I’m likely in the kitchen fermenting something—bread dough, cheese, sauerkraut, and most recently mead. I have an addiction to cooking magazines, though mostly I skip recipes and cook off the cuff.
Unable to resist the allure of a northern climate, I relocated to Massachusetts in my early twenties, where I’ve lived ever since. I’m passionate about the local food movement, and have been volunteering one day a week at an organic community farm since 2016.
Alongside my photographer husband, I regularly collect antique pieces of fiestaware and sip whiskey while entertaining our two rambunctious cats and a dog. I can’t imagine a better life.
