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, fueled by a steady diet of comic books and Saturday morning cartoons.

He made his first writing sale at age seventeen 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 moved on to write articles and reviews for Cinema Blend and Creative Screenwriting Magazine, where he interviewed dozens of Hollywood’s biggest screenwriters and stars, including Kevin Smith, Shane Black, George Romero, Susannah Grant, Frank Darabont, Seth Rogen, Sylvester Stallone, Akiva Goldsman, Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci, and Will Forte.
