Named Peter Richards, I grew up in South Australia, until I moved to the Upper Hunter, New South Wales, in my early twenties. I live with my loving spouse, May, and four children, Kelly-Anne, Matthew, Patrick, and Sophie-Lee. They all support my writing and help with new story ideas. In my childhood, I would catch spiders and keep them in jars, hidden in the shed from my mother. Every day I would catch flies and other bugs to feed them. One day my mother found them and told me to get rid of them but I didn't. I found a new hiding place: under my bed.
