About Peter

I am a writer now, but before I was an IT/Systems Control professional; the systems you never notice, the ones that runs the electric grid. Yep that one, the grid in cheap movies that always crashes during every sun spot.

Then for some reason (alien infection most likely) I retired and started writing full time.

I write sci-fi because I am a physics nut. I am annoying and passionate as vegans with this subject.
I have written sci-fi features, one horror feature, couple shorts, and just shot a documentary about a WA state pioneer. Editing is tedious.
