Cooper Petgrave
There is nothing sinister about a grown man with a name like this
Cooper is our resident reviewer, who is tasked with reading our books and telling people what he thinks of them. On the plus side, it means he gets to read all of our books but the downside of that is that he gets to read all of our books.
Born in Canada, he suffered the intense disappointment of being Canadian. In his search for a better life he fled to the doorstep of Edgeverse Publishing where we trapped him with one of our makeshift cages propped up with a cup of coffee. He now reviews books or gets educated with the help of our special ‘explaining-stick’.
Cooper Petgrave has no warrants out for his arrest and there are no records of any strange behaviour, nor is there any evidence that there is a history of any kind of violence. So long as that’s his real name, we should all be pretty much fine.
An aspiring author in his right, Cooper has offered to read our work and give earnest, honest and unbiased feedback as to his thoughts about it. The fact that we don’t have any money means you can be sure we’re not paying him, and the fact that he keeps turning up with blood under his fingernails and whispering murderous things to himself means he’s probably not scared of us. So you can be reasonably sure that his opinions are his own!
He likes long walks in the park and dislikes the things that have wronged him still being alive. Unlike the rest of the Edgeverse family, he’s less ‘unconventionally-attractive’ and is, ironically, the only one who is still single.
But we feel sure that Cooper is going to find the right girl soon enough and we’re fairly optimistic that she’ll survive the experience*.
