PETER CLINES is the toy-collecting, movie-loving, New York Times bestselling author of numerous novels. Some of which you may have read.

He grew up in the Stephen King fallout zone of Maine and—inspired by comic books, Star Wars, and Saturday morning cartoons—began writing horrible X-Men and Boba Fett stories at an early age. He got his first rejection letter when he was eleven from then-Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Jim Shooter, and made his first sale to a local newspaper at age seventeen.

His writing includes The Broken Room, Paradox Bound, several books set in the Threshold universe, the Ex-Heroes series, a pair of short story collections, a classical mash-up novel, some unproduced screenplays, and countless articles about the film and television industry.

He currently lives and writes somewhere in southern California. If you have any idea exactly where, he would really appreciate some hints.
