Ex-Heroes

Peter Clines grew up in the Stephen King fallout zone of Maine and started writing science fiction and fantasy stories at the age of eight with his first “epic novel,” Lizard Men from the Center of the Earth . He made his first writing sale at age seventeen to a local newspaper and in the years since then he’s ghostwritten two books, published a handful of short stories, and the first screenplay he wrote got him an open door to pitch story ideas at Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Voyager . After working in the film and television industry for almost fifteen years, he wrote countless articles and reviews for Creative Screenwriting Magazine and its free CS Weekly online newsletter, where he interviewed dozens of Hollywood’s biggest screenwriters and upcoming stars. He currently lives and writes somewhere in Los Angeles.
