Biography

Pryor was born in Swan Hill, Victoria and currently lives in Melbourne with his wife and two daughters. His first work to be published was the short story "Talent" in 1990, which was published in Aurealis No. 1. He received his first nomination for his work in 1993 when the short story "It's All in the Way You Look at It" was nominated for the Ditmar Award for best short fiction, however it lost to Greg Egan's "Closer". In 1996 Pryor released his first novel, The Mask of Caliban, which was a finalist for the 1997 Aurealis Award for best young-adult novel. In 2003 he started writing novels in The Quentaris Chronicles, a shared universe with several other authors.
