Peter Craig

Peter Craig is an American writer known for his darkly comic novels of imploding father-child relationships.

His first novel, "The Martini Shot", published by William Morrow in 1998, chronicles has-been action film star Charlie West's troubled relationship with his two children. His second novel, "Hot Plastic", published by Hyperion in 2004, portrays the complex relationship between credit card con artist Jerry Swift and his genius son, both of whom are attracted to the same woman. His most recent novel, "Blood Father", published by Hyperion in 2005, tells of aging biker John Link and his reckless teenage daughter, caught up in a drug bust gone wrong.

Craig attended the Iowa Writers' Workshop and studied with author Tobias Wolff. He now lives in Venice Beach, CA, where he also works as a screenwriter. Craig is also the son of actress Sally Field.
