Abraham Cooper
Abraham Cooper was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona where he continues to live. He is an avid historian, poet, illustrator, photographer and fiction writer. He attended Pima Community College for several years to pursue film studies but eventually lost interest in this field, after clarifying his desire to strictly write stories. He is now a history buff on the southwest, primarily the Tucson region, while continuing to write on these and other subjects. During this time, he has been developing a fictional story centered on a famous Tucson legend, intended to become a graphic novel. He remains interested in visual arts and currently manages a few blogs which feature his photography. Abraham plans to go back to school sometime next year to study southwestern history and folklore, with a focus on native american history. He currently works at the front desk of the Historic Hotel Congress, Tucson's premiere and oldest hotel, while volunteering at the Arizona Historical Society in his spare time.
