[edit] Biography

Owen was best known in the 1990s for self-publishing the black-and-white fantasy series Starchild under his Coppervale Press imprint. After the turn of the century Owen reinvented himself as a novelist — creating a fantasy series titled Mythworld that met with much success in Germany — and magazine editor. In 2003 Coppervale Press relaunched two classic newsstand magazines, the fine arts-oriented International Studio and the fiction periodical Argosy.

In 2006 Owen published Here, There Be Dragons, the first book in The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica trilogy. Filming rights were immediately bought by Warner Brothers, which contributed to the book's success. The second book, The Search for the Red Dragon was released in early 2008.

Owen currently lives in Silvertown, Arizona.
