Peter S. Beagle

PETER S. BEAGLE, was born in 1939 and raised in the Bronx, just a few blocks from Woodlawn Cemetery, the inspiration for his first novel, A Fine And Private Place. He originally proclaimed he would be a writer when 10 years old: subsequent events have proven him either prescient or even more stubborn than hitherto suspected. Today, thanks to classic works such as The Last Unicorn, Tamsin, and The Innkeeper's Song, he is acknowledged as America's greatest living fantasy author; and his dazzling abilities with language, characters, and magical storytelling have earned him many millions of fans around the world.

In addition to stories and novels Peter has written numerous teleplays and screenplays, including the animated versions of The Lord Of The Rings and The Last Unicorn, plus the fan-favorite “Sarek” episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. 

His latest story collection, The Line Between, was released in summer 2006 from Tachyon Publications. It includes the long-awaited coda story to The Last Unicorn, "Two Hearts," which won the 2006 Hugo Award for best novelette and has been nominated for the World Fantasy Award.   For more information on Peter, visit his website, www.peters.beagle.com.
