Peter's interest in writing began when he had a poem published in the New Zealand Herald when he was eight years old. From that day on he decided he wanted to become a writer. Currently, Peter is a freelance writer and fulltime house-dad. He has published several children's books, including Moa's Ark in 2005 and The Anzac Biscuit man and other Classic Kiwi Tales in 2007. Peter gets most of his ideas from spending time with his children. His goal is to write humorous stories that encourage children to get into reading.
