Writer of Post-apocalyptic Fiction
Gregory Greunke is an award-winning author who explores the space where nature, technology, and the human spirit meet. Born in California, in an area best known for orchards, he’s traveled to 32 countries, lived in Australia and Asia, and returned to where his journey began – now known as Silicon Valley.
The Water Carriers is the first book in the Rain series. Greg is also developing a YA dystopian thriller set 100 years in the future. He works for a large technology company and carves out time for writing early in the morning and on weekends. He loves cooking outdoors and playing with his kids. But every day, he’s happiest near water—on it, in it, or under it.
In 1987, I traveled to Communist Russia as a student ambassador. I spoke to students about how our government was changing the world for good. They laughed and said their government used propaganda too, but they knew it wasn’t true.
In 2001, Vietnamese fishermen drew pictures in the sand to explain the planes crashing into the World Trade Center just hours earlier.
In 2023 my daughter shouted, “All hail the snow!” as we drove through a snowstorm.
My travels have had a profound impact on my life and writing. I believe that experiencing the world through someone else’s eyes is a valuable experience for everyone.
Grün, gastronomy, and gregariousness. That pretty much sums me up.
