Pete worked for a time in computers, had a dalliance in music/arts journalism and ended his corporate working life (1995) as head of internal communication's for Leeds Permanent Building Society... just before it was gobbled up by the Halifax (though the two things were not linked).
From 1995 he worked as a communications consultant with a specialist communications and design company in Leeds before becoming a full-time writer/editor/publisher in 2000.
Born on the fourth of July, Pete developed an early love of all things American. That love affair has stayed with him through five full decades (plus a considerable slice of a sixth!) and it tends to feature heavily in his writing, particularly the short stories.
He's the author of the Forever Twilight series, co-author (with James Lovegrove) of Escardy Gap, and author of the 'Luddersedge', 'Land at the End of the Working Day' and 'Koko Tate' short story series. Several of his 100-plus stories have been optioned or adapted for both big and small screen.
Pete shares his life with Nicky and an unfeasibly large collection of books, comics, magazines, records and CDs.
