Peter Lewis Atkinson
I was born in the southeast of the United Kingdom. After leaving school, I pursued a career in electronics. I was fortunate, having gone to a local business on a day release program from school, I was then taken on as an apprentice. After my apprenticeship was complete, I left and started my own business, which I still do today. As for writing, I had never considered writing a novel until I had this strange science fiction dream. This dream stayed with me. I decided to put pen to paper and had a draft of my first novel completed in just a few months. My interests include, among other things, reading and science fiction movies.
