P. B. King Sr.

A book lover from childhood, Pete is a passionate reader in leisure time

and enjoys various authors and their novels. As a young

boy, he was taken by his mother (who was also a fervent reader)

on his initial visit to a bookstore in New York. There he discovered

an unknown world of adventure and imagination. Walking out

that afternoon with his first purchase of a Hardy Boys title, he was

hooked. That initial book was only one in hundreds of various genres

from science fiction, thrillers, and mysteries to historical novels Pete

would read.

In high school and college, Pete’s sincere interest was in literature and history.

Through his years as a successful business professional, the passion to write

was always there.

After retirement in 2013, Pete continued working with various

business services but never gave up on the prospect of writing. In the

fall of 2019, that opportunity became a reality when Pete began work

on his initial novel, An Ocean for Revenge. The outline, starting from

months of notes and conception, developed into a synopsis. After

several revisions and editing, that synopsis became the story you are

about to read.

When not reading or writing, Pete is a devoted model train

enthusiast and an avid sports car fan. Pete and his wife are members

of a local sports car auto club. On weekends, they enjoy travels throughout

the northeast areas of New York and New England.

He is a member of the Alliance of Independent Authors and

lives with his wife in New York State, enjoying family time with their

children, their children’s spouses, and their eight grandchildren.
