Peter grew up in Denmark in an era when the world still felt analog, before constant notifications, before streaming swallowed the shelves, before every daily task required a password. He is part of the last generation that remembers rewinding tapes with a pencil, dial-up modems screaming in the next room, and a kind of quiet that no longer exists. Maybe that’s why he writes the way he does: with one foot in the grounded, physical world and the other in the uncertain futures he’s been imagining since the mid-1990s.
Long before publishing The Light Before Dust, Peter spent decades working in IT. Technology was never just a job to him; it was a lens for understanding systems, vulnerabilities, unintended consequences, and how real people behave when the things they rely on start to fail. That background, equal parts curiosity, logic, and lived experience, shapes everything he writes. His fiction is built on practical details, emotional realism, and the quiet moments between major events, where characters reveal who they truly are.
Peter has been developing the Equilibrium Protocol universe in one form or another for most of his adult life. What began as a school assignment in the 1990s slowly evolved into sketches, notes, scenes, timelines, half-formed ideas, and dozens of “what if” questions spread across notebooks, hard drives, and late-night conversations. For many years, it existed only as a private creative space, a world he carried but never released. Publishing the Legacy Sequence marks the first time readers are invited into that long-running world.
As an author, Peter is interested in people who pay attention: the observers, the quiet ones, the individuals who don’t see themselves as heroes but still choose to act. His stories explore collapse not through spectacle, but through everyday resilience, how families, friendships, and strangers adapt when old systems stop holding. He writes about memory, survival, small decisions that echo for years, and the thin line between ordinary life and irreversible change.
Outside of writing, Peter runs Garbæk IT, where he helps people navigate digital security, technology, and the modern chaos of devices, passwords, and online risks. He hosts local tech-help sessions, works with private clients, and still finds time to dive into games, world-building, and the occasional nostalgia trip back to the 90s.
The Light Before Dust is his first published novel and the opening step in a twelve-book journey. For Peter, it’s more than a debut, it’s the beginning of bringing three decades of imagination into the world., word by word.
