Harmon Cooper was once a musician who recorded two hundred songs nobody ever heard.

Then he quit music, quit playing video games, and missed the games so much he accidentally wrote a LitRPG novel before he knew what he was getting himself into. That book was The Feedback Loop — published in 2015, narrated by Jeff Hays, back when the genre barely existed.

Harmon has been writing bestselling fantasy books ever since: dark progression epics, post-apocalyptic westerns, satirical dungeon crawls, cultivation, LitRPG, and a few cosy books.

Death's Mantle, a dark fantasy LitRPG narrated by Andrea Parsneau, won an AudioFile Earphones Award; Sacred Cat Island, a cosy LitRPG narrated by Travis Baldree, won an Independent Audiobook Award.

His bestsellers include Pilgrim, War Priest, Cowboy Necromancer, Reborn Assassin, and the Aetherforged series, co-written with Luke Chmilenko. 

He grew up in Austin, Texas, lived in Mongolia on a Fulbright, studied Tibetan in India and Nepal, spent a year in Japan writing in smoky coffee shops, and now lives near the sea with his artist wife and pet seagull named Harold.

Upcoming and experimental projects are available on Patreon or on Royal Road, where he writes as GoblinWrangler.
