About the author
Harmon Cooper
164 books385 followersHarmon Cooper was once a musician who recorded two hundred songs nobody ever heard.
Then he quit music, quit playing video games, and missed the games so much he accidentally wrote a LitRPG novel before he knew what he was getting himself into. That book was The Feedback Loop — published in 2015 and narrated by Jeff Hays, back when the genre barely existed.
Harmon has been writing bestselling fantasy books ever since: dark progression epics, post-apocalyptic westerns, satirical dungeon crawls, cultivation, LitRPG, and a few cosy books.
Death's Mantle, a dark fantasy LitRPG narrated by Andrea Parsneau, won an AudioFile Earphones Award; Sacred Cat Island, a cozy LitRPG narrated by Travis Baldree, won an Independent Audiobook Award. His bestsellers include Pilgrim, War Priest, Cowboy Necromancer, Reborn Assassin, and the Aetherforged series, co-written with Luke Chmilenko.
He grew up in Austin, Texas, lived in Mongolia on a Fulbright, studied Tibetan in India and Nepal, spent a year in Japan writing in smoky coffee shops, and now lives near the sea with his artist wife and pet seagull named Harold.
