Peter writes crime novels set in the always fascinating, sometimes glamourous and often shady world of thoroughbred racing. He draws on the colourful characters, situations and day to day racing life observed while he was sweeping stables, strapping horses and riding trackwork.
Peter may now be the racing manager for AAP, but he has not forgotten his strapping days! His writing career stems from the great racing yarns he used to share with friends around the dinner table.. This lead to a publisher asking him to write his autobiography A STRAPPER’S TALE. In 2007 Peter published PUNTER’S LUCK', followed by 'PUNTER’S TURF' 2009 which was also released as a talking book and reports are that there’s many a jockey, trainer, float driver, farrier, strapper and bookie listening on the way home from the races!
Now Peter’s latest novel SILK CHASER will be published in June 2010 and he is currently hard at work on his fourth novel.
