Trevor H. Cooley is an American fantasy author best known for his "Bowl of Souls" series, which includes multiple interconnected sagas such as "The Moonrat Saga," "The Jharro Grove Saga," and "The Dark Prophet Saga." His debut novel, "Eye of the Moonrat," was published in 2012 and has since sold over 250,000 copies across Kindle and Audible. Cooley has expanded his literary repertoire with works like "Tallow Jones: Wizard Detective," a blend of fantasy and detective fiction, and "Noose Jumpers," a mythological western series.
Born in South Carolina, Cooley developed a passion for fantasy literature early in life, inspired by authors such as Lloyd Alexander, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Robert Jordan. The characters and worldbuilding for his "Bowl of Souls" series originated during his teenage years, evolving through short stories and extensive notes before taking shape as full-length novels. Encouraged by his wife to commit his ideas to paper, Cooley persevered through years of revisions and rejections before finding success as a self-published author.
Cooley's writing spans multiple genres, including epic fantasy, urban fantasy, and westerns infused with mythological elements. His works often feature intricate worldbuilding and interconnected storylines. He currently resides in Tennessee with his wife and four children, continuing to expand his literary universe with upcoming releases such as "Sir Edge" and sequels to existing series.
