Gabriel Murray is a writer, teacher, and interactive fiction hobbyist originally from Portland, Oregon who has lived in just six U.S. states but under about twenty-one different roofs, give or take a shingle. His stories and articles have appeared in Strange Horizons, GlitterShip, Daily Science Fiction, and elsewhere. His favorite forms are the novel and the Inform parser text game, due to his affection for maddening and drawn-out labor.
