It started with poetry. When Peter E. Fenton was having a difficult day, he would put pen to paper and dive into a world of imagination. None of these poems were published. They were kept in a book on a shelf for future reference. A way of looking back at a time and place in life. But poems led to short stories...tales often told in letter form to amuse friends during their long summers away from home working jobs in theatre. And then twenty years ago he met a composer and writer and they became life partners, and they got the ridiculous idea that perhaps writing musicals and plays would be fun. And so they did that. While his partner wrote on over twenty projects, Peter participated in four of those projects, and these plays were produced across the country, won awards and some were even published. But life can't all be "play". There was also some work to be done, in this case a 42 year relationship with the Royal Ontario Museum, where Peter spent his time in palaeontology doing collection management and going on expedition in remote locations including the Canadian Rockies, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. When the time came to step away from the fossils at the museum, a new passion took hold ...the desire to write a longer narrative...a book... a gay romance. He wanted to write something that would draw on many years of living, loving and exploring the world. And so with the kind support of his partner, he began writing his first novel, and a publisher expressed interest, and in the spring of 2022 The Woodcarver's Model was released and was a four time nominee in the Goodreads M/M Romance Readers’ Choice Awards. Peter currently resides in Toronto, Canada with his partner (who still writes plays) and is now working on a series of gay detective novels. His upcoming novels include, Mann Hunt (the first of a three part series) which was just released by Pride Publishing in August of 2023, Not Not Normal (a teen romance) which will be released by Lorimer Publishing in 2024, and Hoodoo House (the second book in the Declan Hunt Mysteries series) that will come out in June of 2024.
