Stephen Peters is an American writer born in 1947. Reliable film-reference sources identify him as the writer behind Wild Things (1998), The Wolves (1996), and The Fourth War (1990), and note that The Park Is Mine was adapted from his book.
His work shows an easy movement between fiction and screen storytelling. That mix of novels, screenplays, and story credits suggests a writer comfortable building tense, cinematic plots with sharp momentum.
Published book listings also connect him with titles such as The Park Is Mine and Grateful Dead: What a Long, Strange Trip: The Stories Behind Every Song 1965–1995. Publicly available sources are limited, though, so many personal biographical details are not easy to confirm.
