About Peter

“The more evolved a species is, the more time it seems to spend playing. Which doesn’t explain why I’m sitting in front of a typewriter, unless it does.” – P.J. O’Rourke

Let’s keep this simple, shall we?

I am a New Jersey native – born, raised, educated and employed – and reside there still, happily teaching English at a small local college.

I have written a number of role-playing books for both tabletop and live-action play. I’ve also worked as a music journalist, as well as a professional editor and line developer for a game company.

I read a lot, run too many RPGs, am way too addicted to Fantasy Flight board games, make mix CDs constantly, have a terrible weakness for “paranormal” TV shows (no matter how cheesy), LARP whenever I can swing it, and adore the ocean.

Last but not least, whenever I find the time I slip away into the world of a whimsical alchemist with the head of a rabbit or superhuman noir detective, though it’s not as often as I’d like for either of them. Still, I’m working on it.
