"...the next great young adult sci-fi hero..."
-- Teresa Jusino, Tor.com

"Excelsior by George H. Sirois is the kind of book that NEEDS to be read by more people. He doesn't have the marketing push that far too many lesser literary projects get from the big publishing houses. He doesn't get the all-expenses paid book tour. But what he does have is far more important. A novel that is rich on story and character."
-- Steve Gustafson, 411Mania.com

Matthew spent years creating the ultimate comic hero. He never dreamed the true hero would be within himself.

George Sirois has yearned to be a storyteller all his life, no matter the medium. That drive first led him to drawing his own characters while in grade school, and then - when his skills never advanced beyond the most primitive sketches - writing about them in various short stories and screenplays before moving on to novels such as “Excelsior” and the five-part serial “From Parts Unknown.” He is a regular contributor to Write Pack Radio (www.windingtrailsmedia.com) and was named President of the Missouri Writers Guild in May 2017. After living in New York City and Richmond, Virginia, George, his wife, and their two dogs now happily call St. Louis, Missouri their home. In his spare time, George is an avid cinephile, a collector of film scores, and a lifelong fan of the New York Giants. He enjoys West Coast Swing dancing, and is currently pursuing work as a voice actor & audiobook narrator. “Excelsior” and the first of two sequels - “Ever Upward: Part Two of The Excelsior Journey” - are available through Aelurus Publishing: www.aeluruspublishing.com.
