Brief description: Texas native George Wright Padgett is a multi-genre author who 'grew up' reading science fiction and comic books. After a brief stint writing children's picture books, he turned to darker themes. He now writes a mix of novels and short stories in sci-fi, detective, and horror categories, bringing his distinctive artistic flair to each genre he explores.A versatile creative talent, Padgett divides his 'non-writing' time between being a husband and father of two, a jazz piano player, a graphic artist, and a playwright. His background in visual arts and music infuses his writing with a cinematic quality and rhythmic pacing that readers find particularly engaging in his genre fiction.
