Gene Doucette is a hybrid author, albeit in a somewhat roundabout way. From 2010 through 2014, Gene published four full-length novels (Immortal, Hellenic Immortal, Fixer, and Immortal at the Edge of the World) with a small indie publisher. Then, in 2014, Gene started self-publishing novellas that were set in the same universe as the Immortal series, at which point he was a hybrid.

Gene Doucette answered Arthur Aldiss's question: What inspired you to be a writer? I recently read some of your books again, and realized how much they influenced my own writing style, your witty and sarcastic science fiction was a huge inspiration to me when I began to write fiction for the first time, so I wanted to know what authors or novels inspired you? I'm honored to be an inspiration! Not 100% sure the best way to answer, only because it's possible I came out of the womb thinking I was going to be a writer, and then it became a question of what KIND of writer I was going to be.

“I was suicidal for two solid centuries once. That was during the early part of what they now call the Dark Ages, in medieval Europe. Suicidal tendencies were de rigueur at the time, and I’m nothing if not trendy.”
