Peter Berresford Ellis was born in Coventry, Warwickshire, England. His father was a Cork-born journalist who started his career on The Cork Examiner. The Ellis family can be traced in the area from 1288. His mother was from an old Sussex family of Saxon origin that traces its lineage back through 14 generations in the same area. Her mother was of Breton descent.

Educated at Brighton College of Art and the University of London, Ellis graduated from North East London Polytechnic (now part of the University of East London) in Celtic Studies in 1989. He also has a master's degree in Celtic Studies from the University of East London (1993).

He began his career as a junior reporter on an English south coast weekly, becoming deputy editor of an Irish weekly newspaper and was then editor of a weekly publishing trade journal in London. He first went as a feature writer to Northern Ireland in 1964 for a London daily newspaper. His first book was published in 1968: Wales: a Nation Again, on the Welsh struggle for political independence, with a foreword by Gwynfor Evans, Plaid Cymru's first MP.

In 1975 he became a full-time writer. He used his academic background to produce many titles in the field of Celtic Studies and he has written academic articles and papers in the field for journals ranging from The Linguist (London) to The Irish Sword: Journal of the Irish Military History Society (University College Dublin). In 1999 The Times Higher Education Supplement described him as one of the leading authorities on the Celts then writing. He has been International Chairman of the Celtic League 1988–90; chairman of Scrif-Celt (The Celtic Languages Book Fair in 1985 and in 1986); chairman and vice-president of the London Association for Celtic Education 1989–95, and now is an Honorary Life Member.

He was also chairman of his local ward Labour Party in London and was editorial advisor on Labour and Ireland magazine in the early 1990s. He is also an honorary life member of the Connolly Association (founded in 1938) to examine and promote the life and teachings of the Irish patriot James Connolly (1868-1916). He introduced and edited James Connolly: Selected Writing (Penguin, 1973) and wrote a regular column for the Association’s newspaper Irish Democrat from 1987-2007. He is a member of the Society of Authors.

Apart from his Celtic Studies interests, Ellis has written full-length biographies on H. Rider Haggard, W. E. Johns, Talbot Mundy, E. Charles Vivian (E. C. Vivian), and critical essays on other popular fiction authors. His output in the fictional field, writing in the genre of horror fantasy and heroic fantasy, began in 1977 when the first "Peter Tremayne" book appeared. Between 1983 and 1993 he also wrote eight adventure thrillers under the name "Peter MacAlan".

As of June 2015 he had published 98 books, 100 short stories, several pamphlets, and numerous academic papers and signed journalistic articles. Under his own name he wrote two long running columns: 'Anonn is Anall' (Here and There) from 1987–2008 for the Irish Democrat, and, "Anois agus Arís" (Now and Again) from 2000–2008 for The Irish Post. His books include 35 titles under his own name 55 titles under his pen name of Peter Tremayne and eight under the pen name of Peter MacAlan. He has lectured at universities in several countries, including the UK, Ireland, America, Canada, France and Italy. He has also broadcast on television and radio since 1968.

The popularity of his Sister Fidelma mysteries led, in January 2001, to the formation of an International Sister Fidelma Society in Charleston, South Carolina, with a website and a print magazine called The Brehon produced three times a year. A book called The Sister Fidelma Mysteries: Essays on the Historical Novels of Peter Tremayne (MacFarland) was published in 2012, edited by Professor Edward J. Reilly and David Robert Wooten, which includes contributions about the series from numerous international authorities. His historical work was examined in an article "Peter Berresford Ellis and Popular History' by Professor Jim Smyth in History Ireland, September/October, 2010.

His novel, The Devil's Seal is forthcoming from St. Martin's Press in 2015.
