Donald Edward Peters, author of the "Quince" Mysteries!

A little about me. I've had what you could call an eclectic work career. I've been a pizza-parlor busboy, bowling alley attendent, journalist, medical equipment salesman, Army officer and owner/breeder/insurer of race horses.
It's been an interesting life.
I grew up in a small California town that turned into a large one I hardly recognize, and frequently get lost in when I visit. I'm a proud graduate of the University of Oregon (I really enjoyed my third sophomore year) with a degree that makes me really good on Jeopardy but is pretty much totally worthless in any other setting.
I write because I can't fathom a life without doing do.
Today, I live in Southern Maryland with my wife. Between us we have four great children, two Scottish Terrors and a cat that probably has an armed robbery in his future. Makes for one hell of a Christmas card.
