Autor

Bill Peters is an award-winning corporate communicator by profession; husband and father by passion; a biker, car guy, rock drummer, hockey, baseball, soccer and dance dad; and in his retirement apparently an author. He is a lifelong Winnipegger, save for a two-year stint in the homeland of the Peters family, Winkler, Manitoba. He contends he was sent back to Winnipeg because he didn't marry, citing "too many cousins". Bill says a side benefit of marrying his Greek-born wife Roula is that it freshened his Mennonite gene pool, which produced two beautiful kids. He adds, "I'm the only one without a degree in my family. I'm amazed they still ask me for advice. I watch home improvement shows and sports while they watch CNN. That should tell you all you need to know." Long Stories Shortened is a compilation of over 100 amusing, sometimes poignant stories which were initially intended to pass down to his children. Encouragement from friends, family, and a healthy Facebook following has resulted in this book.
