Peter

I live in Central Europe — a place where people sometimes think too much, and at other times say nothing at all. It’s where I learned to listen, to observe, to take notes — and, occasionally, to stay too long in places I shouldn’t have.
I spent years as a journalist, editor, and creative director at a cable TV network. I’ve seen how the world unravels on screen — and how people quietly unravel inside. Maybe that’s why I started writing stories. Or maybe I just didn’t know what else to do with all the sentences I never said out loud.

Peter and Kate – in the thick of work.


Nothing Before Her is the first of my novels to be translated into another language. How true is the story? That’s for the readers to decide — especially those who’ve already survived a few bad decisions. All I can say is this: writing is sometimes the only way to tell a story without having to say it out loud. Or live it.

Sometimes you just have to take a break.


You can ask about my personal life, too. Go ahead, ask... But if you must know: I own a coffee maker — and I use it regularly. I believe in silence, in rhythm, and in the idea that one honest sentence is always better than a hundred well-crafted lies.

Okay, fine – this was just for the photo...
