Raised on a steady diet of fantasy novels, comic books, and ‘Dungeons & Dragons’, Peter V. Brett (“Peat” to his friends) has been writing fantasy stories for as long as he can remember. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature and Art History from the University at Buffalo in 1995, and then spent over a decade in pharmaceutical publishing before returning to his bliss. His début novel, The Painted Man (AKA The Warded Man in the US) was published in the UK (HarperCollins Voyager) in September 2008 to fantastic critical acclaim and was named one of Amazon.co.uk’s 10 Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Novels of 2008, and has been nominated for the David Gemmell Legend Award for Fantasy, and the series has (so far) sold to Germany, France, Greece, Japan, Russia, Poland, Czech Republic, Spain, and Portugal.
The second book in the trilogy is currently scheduled for a Autumn 2009 UK released. Peter lives in Brooklyn with his wife Danielle, their daughter Cassandra, and an evil black cat named Jinx.
