About Basil Copper
Basil Copper is an English writer and former journalist and newspaper editor. He has written over fifty books and scripts. In addition to fantasy and horror, Copper is known for his series of Solar Pons stories continuting the character created by August Derleth, although tensions between Copper and the Estate of August Derleth make any further Solar Pons stories unlikely. He also wrote the long-running hard-boiled detective stories of "Mike Faraday" (58 novels from 1966 to 1988).

In early 2008, a bio-bibilography was published on him: Basil Copper: A Life in Books, compiled and edited by Stephen Jones.
