His inspiration for the Sheltie pony books comes from when he used to live in Exmoor in Devon. Peter said, "I wanted to spend my time doing the two things I enjoyed most – writing and creating pictures. Adventure stories for kids seemed like a brilliant idea and I just love it. Being able to create an entire village like Little Applewood and bringing all the characters to life gives me such a buzz." He is also known for his contemporary abstract paintings. His latest book is The Attack of the Killer Frogs, a children's horror story, published by A & C Black.
