Who are you, and how did you get this way?
It's good to live as many lives as you possibly can in the time allotted to you here on Earth. I may have overdone it a bit.Taking the long way around, I've met and worked with so many different people from every walk of life. It was certainly a dumb idea to drop out of university, but I stumbled into International moving, where I met London gangsters, aristocrats and Ambassadors, the Queen's horse trainer and many, many more.I spent a lot of time in technology, working on fun projects like prototypes for GameBoy Advance, early GPS systems, and Hard Disk Drives. I ended up teaching University professors how to program ARM devices, how's that for full circle?Now I'm enjoying folding all those years of crazy experiences into my books. I hope you enjoy reading the resulting tales!Peter Maloy
