John Gregory Betancourt

John Gregory Betancourt (born October 25, 1963) is a writer of science fiction, fantasy and mystery novels as well as short stories. He has worked as an assistant editor at ''Amazing Stories'' and editor of ''Horror: The Newsmagazine of the Horror Field'', the revived ''Weird Tales'' magazine, the first issue of ''H. P. Lovecraft's Magazine of Horror'' (which he subsequently hired Marvin Kaye to edit), ''Cat Tales'' magazine (which he subsequently hired George H. Scithers to edit), and ''Adventure Tales'' magazine. He worked as a Senior Editor for Byron Preiss Visual Publications (1989–1996) and iBooks. He is the writer of four Star Trek novels and the new Chronicles of Amber prequel series, as well as a dozen original novels. His essays, articles, and reviews have appeared in such diverse publications as ''Writer's Digest'', ''The Washington Post'', and ''Amazing Stories''.
==Early life==

Betancourt's father is archaeologist Felipe Pablo "Philip" Betancourt, and his brother is critical theorist Michael Betancourt. As a child, John Betancourt spent summers in Greece,〔 especially Crete, where his father worked on the excavation at Kommos in the 1970s, and Pseira in the 1980s. There, in his early years, he developed a love for reading and discovered such diverse writers as Clark Ashton Smith, Michael Moorcock, and Jack Vance through books imported from the United Kingdom. He said of this time, "When I ran out of stories, I made up my own to keep myself entertained. I can trace the impulse to become a writer to age fourteen, when I spent most of a summer writing sequels to classics like ''Treasure Island''."〔
Betancourt's first published work was a poem, "The Argia," in ''Space & Time'' magazine at age 15. At age 16, he made his first professional sale, "Vernon's Dragon," to the anthology ''100 Great Fantasy Short-Short Stories'', edited by Isaac Asimov, John F. Carr, and Martin H. Greenberg. He began his first-published novel, ''The Blind Archer'', at age 17, finished it at age 18, and sold it to Avon Books at age 19. He graduated from Temple University with a Bachelor of Arts.〔
