Peter Morwood

Peter Morwood is an Irish fantasy novelist and screenplay writer who has written two Star Trek novels, one with his wife Diane Duane.

Morwood was born Robert Peter Smyth in Lisburn in Northern Ireland, and was raised a Quaker. He attended Queen's University, Belfast. He chose "Morwood" as a pen name as it was his mother's maiden name.

He worked in the UK Customs and Excise for a while, and met his wife, Diane Duane at a convention in Glasgow, Scotland. After this, Morwood moved to the USA for a while, and then lived in Scotland, before returning to Ireland to live in County Wicklow.
