ByCooper.com is the official website for Doug Cooper, the writer of novels, screenplays, short stories and features, and poetry. His debut novel, Outside In, is a look at one man’s belated coming of age that’s equally funny, earnest, romantic, and lamenting. It explores the modern search for responsibility and identity, showing through the eyes of Brad Shepherd, how sometimes we understand who we truly are by becoming the person we’re not.
