Local Heroes

PETER M. BALL is an author, publisher, wrestling fan, and RPG gamer whose love of speculative fiction comes early exposure to The Hobbit, Star Wars, David Lynch’s Dune, and far too many games of Dungeons and Dragons. He spent five years convening the GenreCon writing conference in Australia, eventually moving on to begin a PhD at the University of Queensland, and has been teaching other writers for over twenty years. He’s the author of the Miriam Aster series and the Keith Murphy Urban Fantasy Thrillers, three short story collections, and more stories, articles, poems, and RPG material than he’d care to count. He’s currently the brain-in-charge at Brain Jar Press, and resides in Brisbane, Australia.
