‘The author has built a great connection between family here, both of the \u2018found family\u2019 variety and that genetically coerced by our alien friends
in the series.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘This is a riveting sci-fi adventure with lovable characters and an intriguing mystery. Despite its 400+ pages, the book is fast-paced, pulling you through the story at break-neck speed.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi there! I’m Pete.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m an indie author from the south-east of England, currently working on a four book sci-fi series called, The Astrex Series<\/em>, which follows the journey of a young woman named Kara, as she attempts to uncover the origins of the mysterious symbol on her wrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike so many of my peers, who seemingly wrote their first novels at the age of four, writing was something I stumbled onto quite accidentally, and I didn’t write anything of substance until my mid twenties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now, I can confidently say that writing is something I’m very passionate about, and the journey I’ve been on over the past few years, from writing a truly awful first draft of my debut novel, to completing the second book in the series, and then<\/em> going on to completely rewrite book 1, has been a whirlwind, but one I’ve enjoyed immensely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of my debut series, I’m currently in the early stages of planning a new fantasy series, which I’d describe as a cross between The Wheel of Time,<\/em> Lord of the Rings,<\/em> and Star Wars.<\/em> If that sounds interesting, then why not stick around, follow me on my socials, or sign up to my newsletter. (which I’ll try to send out every now and then!)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
