About this author

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. He lives in Brooklyn.



I love this new portrait of Rojer from Stefan, aka FreddyKling, on Deviant Art.

Young Rojer is perfectly imagined in Stefan’s portrait. The motley, the fiddle, the red hair. It’s like stepping into his childhood in The Warded Man. Great job! Check out Stefan’s Arlen portrait here.

I had the pleasure last week of telling this lovely young author in person how much I loved her book. She was properly humble, then disappeared in a dazzle of flash photography before I could get her to sign my iPad.

Felix The series is awesome. There is not to many Epic/Dark adult fantasies out there. The Painted/Warded man is one of my all time favorites.It feels like 1 part LIl'Abner 1 part crucible shake not stir-then add demons for taste.

Kyle Just finished The Daylight War, and I have to say: Absolutely loved it! Just the book I needed, at just the right time. :)
