Though born in Vermont, I moved to the South at the age of two, bringing along my parents and brother. I was raised in Charlotte and have lived here ever since. I am married without kids.

We had a dog and a cat when I was growing up. My wife and I have outlived three other cats. I have no interest in football, basketball, baseball, or golf. Sorry, sports nerds! Now foil fencing, tennis, ping pong, or volleyball? Let’s play! I have also indulged in yoga, tai-chi, and binge-watching Netflix.

My alma mater was UNC-Charlotte. They found an unused undergraduate Economics degree and bestowed it on me in a fine ceremony. After that, there was a hazy period of founding and running my own computer consulting business, but I have recovered nicely and am now retired.

My writing interests are in fantasy and science fiction predominately, and some comedy. I enjoy writing short stories, though I have gotten bogged down attempting a couple of novels. I’m interested in trying screenplays. If you are curious about my contributions to the world of publication, there is one book bearing my name. It’s a comedy fantasy novella: Calentirrian D’Versi and his Startling Stratagem for Advancement. It’s easier to search for it under “Blair Peery”.

I have served on the Board of Directors of the Charlotte Writers Club (CWC), and am a member of the North Carolina Writers’ Network (NCWN). I am a founding member of the CWC’s longest-running critique group, The Dark and Stormy Plotters League. It is dedicated to science fiction and fantasy.
