Pete lives in Cornwall with his lovely partner Gabrielle. He adores board games, history, photography, and theatre, and has been incredibly fortunate to have earned his living working in each of those fields.

Over the decades, he has travelled the world and made many friends in various countries, enjoying meeting up with them. He has written a book of his travels across Africa in the mid 1980's called "The Long Haul".

His favourite career was as a Lighting Designer in British theatre, and he has written a book of theatrical and rock and roll anecdotes called "Clunk".

Now in retirement, he has discovered two further careers, as a writer of mainly Historical fiction and working in TV and Film as a Supporting Artist.

He is truly blessed with four wonderful step-daughters who are a constant source of joy.
