Biography

Born - July 4th, 1942 on Nantucket Island

The author is a very private person and has carefully avoided creating a personal footprint on the Internet, since his retirement in 1999, no Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or other social media and a cryptic email address until Oh, Nantucket changed things.

Peter always felt that he had something to say and would someday write a book. His first attempt was way back in 1990 when he wrote, The Bachelor's Bible, a tongue-in-cheek self-help book. He did gain some noteriety appearing on The Phil Donahue Show, Joan Rivers and People are Talking. This was all before the Internet. Peter established his own publishing company, PMS Enterprises, successfully marketing his book, packaging bookstore orders on his pool table in the family room, all while working full time at his real job.

His real job was a computer industry professional. That life is detailed in his industry memoir, I'm On The Computer.

In 2015, having completed his bucket list, exhausted his hobbies and needing an intellectual challenge, on a whim, he decided to write a trilogy about the world one thousand years after Columbus "discovered" America. The series called The Present Future Trilogy contends that the issues of today will be the issues of tomorrow and that outcomes are dependent upon good versus evil and the whims of an indifferent universe.

It was a strange confluence of events that brought about the birth of Oh, Nantucket, the novel. It started in 2001, with a poem, a plaintive cry, an admonition depicting a life lost to time, titled, Oh, Nantucket. The social unrest occurring in 2020 reawakened those thoughts of Nantucket and of the social dissonace prevalent during his childhood days. And so, the novel was born.

When asked about his works, Peter stated "The joy's been in the writing". Though published, he had no interest in marketing his works. He feels differently now. He believes, Oh, Nantucket, is a story worth exposing himself to the Internet in order to share it with a greater audience.

Peter recently relocated to the Brattleboro Vermont area with his wife of over 50 years. He has two children and two granddaughters.
