Peter Cooper grew up in Woomera, South Australia. He wrote his first book, a science fiction adventure called Children of the Empire, when he was twelve years old and continued to write as a teenager, mainly fantasy stories. After a gap of ten years, during which time he finished a degree in Ancient History and another in Electrical Engineering, he took up writing again. His work has been published in anthologies and magazines such as Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine, Antipodean SF, and Fablecroft's After the Rain anthology.
Cooper is an electronics engineer by day and a keen fantasy reader and writer by night. He has long held ambitions to be a successful published author and lives in Adelaide, Australia, with his wife Pip and their three sons.
