Biography
Gordon
Abbo retired from the practice of psychiatry to pursue writing science fiction
full time in 2008. In addition to his interest in the working of the human
mind, he is fascinated with astronomy and the possibility of extraterrestrial
life. His interest in science fiction began after reading Edgar Rice Burroughs’
Mars series and Jules Verne, followed by visits to a planetarium during
childhood. He attended medical school and became a psychiatrist, but did a
little writing on the side, mostly unpublished nonfiction. In 2004, Gordon got
serious about writing and, inspired by Star Trek, began work on his first
novel, A Meeting of Two Worlds. It is
the first of a series. He also completed a screenplay based on the book. With
his vivid imagination and interest in extraterrestrial life combined with a
concern about the problems in today’s world, he is a science fiction author
with a psychosocial perspective.
