DUSK PETERSON ¶ About the Author

Dusk Peterson is a fiction writer, history writer, journalist, and editor.

Fiction: Dusk Peterson writes fantasy, historical fantasy, science fiction, and contemporary fiction. Suspense plays an important role in many of the tales; the conflict in those tales is both external and internal. Peterson's stories are often placed in dark settings, such as prisons or wartime locations. The mood of the stories, however, is not one of unrelieved gloominess: friendship, heterosexual love, gay love, and faithful service are recurring themes.

Nonfiction: Peterson's nonfiction over the years has spanned a wide range of topics: articles on social and intellectual history; community news and interfaith news; resources for the blind and for genre fiction readers; and information on the history of and current debates on friendship, romantic friendship, romance, and sexuality, including GLBT history and leather history. Peterson's articles have appeared in nationally distributed magazines, as well as in international publications.

Editing: Peterson has done editing and publishing work since age sixteen, mainly for community newspapers, but also for presses and a journal. In 1997, Dusk Peterson founded what was at that time the only English-language interfaith news e-zine. Since that time, Peterson has published a second e-zine devoted to interfaith news, as well as two e-zines devoted to gay literature.
