Autorenporträt

Peter White lives on the scenic Bay of Plenty coast of New Zealand. He is an acclaimed sports journalist, and travel and magazine writer, with a double degree in English and History and a diploma in journalism. Peter fell in love with England, its history, sport and music, during four life-changing years in the 1980s and 1990s. Hearing Sam Fender for the first time sparked a renewed belief in music's inherent ability to change lives and inspired a creative surge of writing. This is Peter's first published book.
