Author Gregory West

About the Author
Gregory West is a writer, teacher, musician, coach, and Air Force veteran with a lifelong passion for stories that explore the human condition. He holds a master’s degree in history and a third-degree black belt in Judo—skills that reflect both his curiosity and discipline.

A husband, father of five, and proud grandfather of fourteen, Gregory is also doggy-dad to four beloved rescue pups. He has traveled to 44 states and seven countries, and speaks three languages, always seeking to understand the world through different eyes.

The Day the Lights Went Out is his first speculative novel, blending real-world insight with deep empathy to explore what remains when the systems we rely on vanish—and the soul is left to speak.
