Tyler Hooper was born in Ottawa, Ontario, and has lived in Victoria, B.C., for twelve years. In 2015, he became captivated by a local legend about a ghostly ship said to haunt the waters off Vancouver Island: the Valencia. A research project he thought would last a few weeks evolved into more than a decade of research. His writing has appeared in The Atavist Magazine, VICE, CBC, and the Vancouver Sun. "Beneath Waves and Shadows" is his first book.
