Previous experience, degrees, and qualifications
I was in marketing from a young and exceptionally creative. I made a lot of money and lived a luxurious life. A tragedy in my life at 40 years of age led me to take stock, and I turned to Christianity, became ordained, and established a prison ministry. On two occasions, I met with Charles Coulson, Richard Nixon's aide, and he encouraged me in my church. From this work, I gained enormous insight into the suffering of my fellow humans.
Beginning to write late in life had two advantages. With age comes wisdom and experience. There was a need that cried out within me to relate many of the advantages of wisdom and the plentiful benefits gained by experience. With this degree in my brand new portfolio, I set up a blog site and began writing. Over 700 posts and 23,000 views buffed up my portfolio in six years—essays, poems, book, and restaurant reviews, followed by historical non-fiction papers and self-help material. My journey was underway. I now published my first book of short stories. This was later followed by ghostwriting three non-fiction self-help books. These three were written in as many months, and the customers were delighted. One of whom promised to use my services again.
All the experiences in my life were magnificent teachers. Most of these were extremely painful, and fewer were joyful. But all resulted in a qualification to write with compassion, understanding, and love.
Interests and hobbies
Reading, writing, researching, and traveling are my principal interests. I am insatiably curious and never leave any stone unturned. Carrying a notebook is part of my baggage. I make copious notes, and these prove invaluable content for any future stories. I love philosophy and am ready to philosophize at the drop of a hat.
My most significant interest is my life. I love living. Whilst past hardships have toughened my skin; they no longer control my mind. I love my life so much; I want to live until I'm 120. Of course, there is a condition - In positive health of body and mind. This leads me to another interest.
I'm a self-development fanatic. With my body, I eat with wisdom and exercise daily. For my mind, I continuously take training courses to keep my cognitive and mental skills in top shape. These are primarily centered around various aspects of writing.
How I'd describe my personality in two sentences
I'm an outgoing 'old soul.' I laugh a lot and enjoy storytelling. Kindness and encouragement are my hallmarks, always wanting to help others. I make acquaintances quickly, but there is still too much to discover to use my time cultivating friendships. I'm madly romantic and prefer female acquaintances to males. I'm gentle and calm but don't step on my tail, 'cause then this lion roars. I'm generous and giving but do like my own way sometimes. Ah well then- most times (you obviously know me!)
How I'd describe my approach to my work
If there is a word that best describes my work ethic, it is - committed. I start my work excited to be on the cusp of creating something unique and special. I am grateful that you, the customer, have entrusted to me what you have dreamed about for a long time. I am thankful for the skill, opportunity, time, and facilities given to me so I can help to accomplish your dream.
I am a planner by nature and training. While creativity is critical in writing your story, it needs planning. No planning is cast in stone, but it does help you with a hammer and chisel to make the first hit. As the carpet of planning is rolled out, ideas must keep pace. Wordcraft must draw the reader into the story, guide them through the plot, and hold them there until it all ends.
Why should you choose me for your project
I start a job; I finish it. And finish it well, not just to the best of my ability, but to the best expectation of my customer. I honor all my contracts. No contract is finished until my customer is happy. I stick by time constraints because it's essential to those who employ my services. I am skilled at what I do and produce work others want to read. I write material that can teach others a better way.
Just give me a title, and I'll work from that. Give me a loose outline, and I'll give you an excellent book. Give a fast definitive outline, and we'll collaborate to produce a dynamic piece.

The Complete Guide to Psychological and Spiritual Growth
The Complete Guide to Psychological and Spiritual Growth is a ‘Self-Help’ publication. In recent years academics have pushed, particularly in the field of medicine, to research the world of Self-Help.

This personal testimony, coupled with a few charts and facts gleaned from medical professionals, is designed to motivate readers to make changes for the better in their lives. In a world where medical services come at no mean cost, a...
Tot Facienda Parum Factum
Tot Facienda Parum Factum “So much to do, so little done” The last words were uttered by Cecil John Rhodes, British businessman, mining magnate, and founder of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe and Zambia) on his deathbed. This was the motto of my high school and whenever I remember these words, I recall my teachers, trying vainly to drum it into my mind that I was to find more time to study. Good or bad, the words had little or no effect on a young man who found dreaming of far greater excitement and comfort. It was many, many years later, as a businessman, who could never find enough tim...
The Field - A Movie About Ireland.
The Field-A Movie About Ireland A Movie filmed and released in Ireland, in 1990 by Jim Sheridan. Based on the stage play of the same name written by John B Keene. (Produced by Gemini Productions at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin in 1965.) Review by Sir Peter James Dotcome. I viewed the movie through the courtesy of YouTube, and the quality of the picture and sound were far below par. Jim Sheridan’s work stemmed from a fictional play by John B Keene and was set in County Kerry, Ireland, 1930. The filming took place in the village of Leenaun, County Galway and the screenplay was...
My Son Left Today
My Son Left Today It is said, that no parent should have to bury their child. Yet, in the span of our lives, we are not given the choice; there are many of us parents, who are given the painful task of burying our children. Since time immemorial, certain parents have been handed this painful task; a task that came upon them suddenly and in shock, because the death of a child should not be theirs to realize. Some might say that we were chosen for this experience, not by a random act of fate, but rather a carefully considered plan, set forth by the Master Life Planner, who plans p...
Who Would Have Thought
Who Would Have Thought? Surely we would all be quick to acknowledge that the greatest technological advent in our day was the invention and household availability of computers and more especially the internet. One might say that the pace began in the ’80s and it could also be suggested from then until today; the knowledge humanity gained in 40years is equal to that gained from the dawn of civilization until the ’80s! For a little additional illumination, we should go on a journey through history. I selected a period from the mid-1800’s through to the present day. In the early ...

I really enjoyed the information contained therein, and Peter's writing was very informative, with a style that made the subject matter interesting and a riveting read. Not dry, as can be the case with some non-fiction books. I picked up some great tips for peace of mind in my own life as well, so I should thank you!
