Gregory D. Current

Gregory Current was born in Oregon in 1967. The creative writing spark ignited his interest in telling stories with expansive storylines and likable characters after viewing Star Wars in 1977. Fresh out of high school he went on to serve in the United States Air Force in the Security Police career field. He served in support of Operation Desert Storm while stationed at Hahn Air Base, West Germany eventually departing the military after nine years of service in 1994. A writer since the age of 16 and greatly influenced by the works of James A. Michener, Terry Brooks, Frank Herbart, and Robert Jordon, he believes a good story effectively utilizes setting, cause and effect, and foreshadow, while challenging readers to view social issues from a different perspective. Since 2017, Greg has written about proper elements of storytelling on his blog, which can be found at: gregorydcurrent.com. In his posts, Greg speaks to what inspires him to write and highlights developments in the creation of "The Sy'Arrian Legacy" series. You will find candid conversations about the pitfalls he has faced and how self-reflection guides him in the right direction. The Sy'Arrian Legacy series began with "The Cradle of Destiny" in 2018. Since its initial release, Greg has worked on finalizing world building. In 2023, he is now beginning work on book two, tentatively titled, "Destiny's Shroud." In his own words, he describes the universe of the Sy'Arrians as follows; "The Sy'Arrian Legacy series can best be described as a blending of Dune, Avatar: The Last Airbender (the animated series), and Star Wars." Gregory Current lives with his husband Jared in the Pacific Northwest, where he works for the State of Oregon as a Program Analyst.
