Brian W. Peterson was born and raised in Missouri and now resides in Kansas with his wife, Mindy. His overactive imagination led to a fascination with writing. Throughout his childhood, he would imagine bad and weird things happening to him and those around him, then he would write down the best ideas, which later served as story ideas. His first novel, the sci-fi adventure "Children of the Sun," reflects that imagination. Because of his intense dreams, the psychological thriller "Dead Dreams" came to life. His third novel, "Wager of Death," reflects his fascination with having characters who mentally and emotionally spiral out of control due to fear, paranoia, or severe stress. For his fourth novel, Paper Doll, published in late July 2021, Brian's Scandinavian heritage comes to the fore. The novel is a true story—creative non-fiction—about his grandfather and two uncles coming of age during the Great Depression and World War II.
