Was born near Manchester, England and started writing stories nearly fifteen years ago as a bolthole from studies.

Now in his early thirties, he's training instructor for an IT company but still squeezes his quota of writing into a busy schedule.

His short stories, as you'll read here, are sometimes dark, often humorous, always a delight to read. He's also sent BeWrite.net a full-length apocalyptic novel, which is in the long editorial process right now.

Unless he's planning a novel length work, Peter tends to write spontaneously, quickly converting an idea or even an everyday event into a gripping short story without any blueprint to fence him in.

He says: "I just let my imagination take hold and my fingers do the talking on the keyboard. This way, I find the stories write themselves and don't seem contrived."
