When Harper graduated from Brown University with a history degree, there was no inkling that a career as a writer would follow. After running a successful business for years, then launching the Social Impact Conference to support business owners, artists and activists dedicated to positive social change, Harper realized that story-telling was fundamental to changing the world and that history housed the greatest stories of them all. Harper especially enjoys finding important but forgotten, or misunderstood, figures from history and bringing them back to life so that the reader can learn about them firsthand. Bob Coles has published poetry in numerous literary journals (e.g., Massachusetts Review, Cura Magazine), and his screenplay, Ode to Freedom, placed as a finalist in the 2015 WeScreenplay International Contest.
