Peter Last was nearly born in an elevator and has continued to be unconventional ever since. His books include stories about dragons, assassins, and warlocks, often with allegory from his Christian upbringing. Besides writing, Peter’s passion is to provide practical tips to new writers, which is why he coaches aspiring authors and critiques other fantasy & science fiction novels.

Peter got an early start to writing thanks to his lack of social life while being homeschooled. After successfully entering the real world, he graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering, received his commission in the Air Force, and got married, all in 3 weeks. His Wisconsonian accent does not earn him any points in his adopted home state of Alabama. When Peter is not drafting neighborhood drainage surveys, training with the Tennessee Air National Guard, sketching out the character arc of a goblin, or building F-5 tornado-proof duck houses for his wife’s farm animal rescue, he is hopefully sleeping.

Peter is the author of the Shadow for Hire trilogy of which In the Service of the King is the final book.
