      Peter - Crank's Time - William O'Brien

      Peter: Crank’s Time

      A collection of short poems inspired by

      About the Author

      ––––––––

      Living in a small village in Lancashire, England, the author has written his fifth book, Peter: Crank’s Time. In the 1990s, the author had twenty-one articles published, both nationally and internationally. After gaining an honours degree in Geosciences, doing post-graduate study in Occupational Health and Fitness, and earning a masters degree in Science Communication, he developed an interest for simple communication. A passion for writing again emerged, and combining various interests in fine art, museum exhibition display, biology, geology, poetry, and the mystical led to the story of Peter: A Darkened Fairytale. The author still retains a childlike vision of the world, which is conveyed throughout his books.
