About Gary GautierAfter growing up in a working-class New Orleans family, I graduated from the University of Southwestern Louisiana, first in my family to receive a college degree. During my master's (UT-Austin) and Ph.D. (CU-Boulder) studies, I hitchhiked 50,000 miles, collecting stories that would later color my novel, Hippies. My career tracks included 10 years rambling the country doing bar and restaurant work, 10 years teaching university literature, writing, and humanities, and 15 years as a senior technical writer in engineering and telecommunications. After 20 years raising my daughter in Boulder and New Orleans, I hit the road again, hitchhiking 15 countries since 2016, writing books of fiction and poetry, and teaching English at universities in Germany, Mexico, and Japan. Despite the vagabond lifestyle, I remain close to my ex-wife and daughter and family in New Orleans.
As an author, I've given numerous radio interviews and have had both fiction and poetry shortlisted for the Faulkner-Wisdom Prize. My novels have earned a #1 Amazon bestseller rank in two categories, and my latest novel, Alice, was selected for the Innovative Fiction Book Club. I've also had a children’s book featured in the Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators Market, a scholarly book selected for Edwin Mellen Press’s Studies in British Literature series, and a screen adaptation of my novel, Mr. Robert’s Bones, made the second round at the Austin Film Festival.
