[edit] Biography

Charles Gramlich, or Charles A. Gramlich, was born October 14, 1958. He grew up on a farm near the foothills of the Ozark Mountains.[1] Although he had three older brothers and an older sister, the closest in age was six years older than him. The nearest child his age lived about six miles away. As such, dogs, cats, and books kept him company growing up.[2] As a child, he came across a valley in the mountains that was so frightening to him that he could never force himself to enter it. This childhood experience formed the setting for his novel Cold in the Light.[1]

Gramlich has an M.A. and Ph.D in Experimental Psychology. He is a member of REHupa, the Robert E. Howard United Press Association, and is an Assistant Editor of The Dark Man, the Journal of Robert E. Howard Studies.[3] He teaches psychology in the Greater New Orleans area at Xavier University of Louisiana. [4] He is married, lives on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain and has a son named Joshua.[1]

Dr. Gramlich is the author of several novels and numerous short stories. Most of his work falls into the genres of science fiction, fantasy, or horror. His first novel in paperback form was Cold in the Light, a horror thriller with science fiction elements that drew comparisons with the early work of Dean Koontz.[5]. His most recent novels in paperback, Swords of Talera, Wings Over Talera and Witch of Talera, are Sword & Planet works in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars series. [6] Dr. Gramlich also writes poetry and non-fiction.
