Raised in Fredericksburg, VA he's spent his whole life dreaming and creating worlds in his head.
In college he studied Art History and Classics-Latin before embracing his love of English Lit and seeing where that took him.
He's been published variously for his humor work as well as his fiction/fantasy - the latter is what he's becoming known for, being featured in various anthologies.
Married, with cats, his apartment looks like the cross between a comic book shop and a Toys'R'Us circa 1989.
'A Queen of Blood and Glitter' is his first novel.

Seriously, though - I love the feeling of getting the worlds that live inside my brain out on to the page and the indescribable joy at seeing a reader *get* it.(less)

Peter S. Beagle
“Heroes know that things must happen when it is time for them to happen. A quest may not simply be abandoned; unicorns may go unrescued for a long time, but not forever; a happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.”
Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn

Peter S. Beagle
“I am no king, and I am no lord,
And I am no soldier at-arms," said he.
"I'm none but a harper, and a very poor harper,
That am come hither to wed with ye."

"If you were a lord, you should be my lord,
And the same if you were a thief," said she.
"And if you are a harper, you shall be my harper,
For it makes no matter to me, to me,
For it makes no matter to me."

"But what if it prove that I am no harper?
That I lied for your love most monstrously?"

"Why, then I'll teach you to play and sing,
For I dearly love a good harp," said she.”
Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn

Peter S. Beagle
“I am what I am. I would tell you what you want to know if I could, for you have been kind to me. But I am a cat, and no cat anywhere ever gave anyone a straight answer.”
