Hi Everyone,
I'm Peter Darley (P.D. to my friends.) I am a British novelist, whose professional history is in showbusiness. I was a graduate of the Birmingham School of Speech and Drama, and studied television drama at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA.) My television credits include guest-starring roles in UK productions such as BBC’s Crime Limited, Stanley’s Dragon for ITV, The Bill, Sky One’s Dream Team, and numerous TV commercials. I also worked as a model, presenter, and voice-over artiste for ten years, and I've been an agent for several variety acts.
My lifelong admiration of heroes, and love of roller-coaster-style thrills have been a huge influence on my writings. I am also a professional close-up magician, a keen athlete, and I live in rural England.
The Mission
I feel that my mission in life is to entertain. People work hard all week and experience strife on a daily basis, whether it be stresses from the boss, marital difficulties, grief, or ill health. Very few get through life avoiding these trials. For that reason, I want to be able to offer at least something that will help take people's minds off their burdens, no matter how fleetingly. Writing thriller books is what I feel I am best at in order to achieve this.
I would also like to extend an invitation to other authors with whom I can discuss our respective experiences in the writing world, and I am happy to promote their works on my site.
