Dear Reader, Love Peter J. White

 

Dear Reader…
You about to embark on a journey into darkness. The events in these books are based on real events. I won’t distract you right now with links and whatnot, but feel free to check out my website. I’ve got a lot of stuff there now, and will be adding a lot more in weeks and months to come.
 

There’s a darkness to my work, and that’s because there’s a darkness loose in the world.
 

One of the more haunting things I’ve ever read is the “welcome” letter the Toybox Killer presented to his victims. If you research him, you will find the kinds of practices that inform these books.
 

The main character, Max Sinclair, is a composite of three persons: an old buddy of mine from my days in Thailand (a true-life Crocodile Dundee), a trace of the main character in Herman Hesse’s classic, Demian¸ and me (if I were a lot more badass than I actually am).
 

I loved writing these novels. They pull together all my interests: the supernatural, spiritualism, good/evil, kickboxing. MMA, Thailand, travel, and more. I wrote them for myself and every time I edit or revise one, I feel a pleasant rush of surprise as I realize how good the work is.
 

Finally, I am grateful that you are reading my work. I spend about a year per novel and there is nothing more gratifying than to hear from someone who really likes my writing.
 

Feel free to contact me. I answer every email I get.

Yours in gratitude,
Peter J. White

When the ghostly victims of a small-town crime lord find him, ex-special forces soldier Max Sinclair realizes the only road to peace is to serve them the justice they crave.

The Hollow Men is the first novel in the Ghost Hunter series about a vigilante who sees the dead—Max Sinclair. Haunted by visions and longing for justice and redemption, Max hunts down evil incarnate—his soul hanging in the balance as he walks the line between the dark and the light.

Dear Reader, Love Thomas White

Dear Reader…

Interesting question. I say that because if I have done my job correctly, I have already told them everything they need to know. One of the biggest lessons I learned from writing my first novel, Justice Rules, is that I don’t get to stand over their shoulder and explain what I meant to happen. I don’t get to say, “No, you see, he wants to date her.” I have to write it in such a way that there is no question of the characters intentions or motivations. As to telling them why I wrote the book or how I wrote it, well, it is my job to tell stories. I am a theatrical director and have told stories on stage for most of my life. Telling them on paper is essentially the same thing. The techniques are vastly different but at the end of the day, a story must be told. In my newest book, The Siren’s Scream, I faced a number of challenges from the start. First of all, the title character, the Siren, is a folk tale as old as time. I wanted a fresh look at the creature, a history, a motivation for her actions. That was the stumbling block for me for many years. I had started to write this story many times until I happened upon the solution. While at a family dinner, dealing with a particularly difficult sister, it occurred to me that these creatures must have a backstory, an explanation of who they are and how they got to be this way. They must have a family, a past that can be explored. Once I started to investigate this avenue the story began to flesh out and I was on the path to making it happen. If I could say anything to my readers it would be this, “Please enjoy the journey and I hope that I have created a world that leads you to intrigue and adventure.”  

Thomas White began his career as an actor. Several years later he found himself as an Artistic Director for a theatre in Southern California and the winner of several Drama-Logue and Critics awards for directing. As Tom’s career grew, he directed and co-produced the world tour of “The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Coming Out Of Their Shells”. The show toured for over two years, was translated into seven different languages and seen by over a million children. Tom served as President and Creative Director for Maiden Lane Entertainment for 24 years and worked on many large-scale corporate event productions that included Harley Davidson, Microsoft, Medtronic Diabetes, and dozens of others. The Siren’s Scream is Tom’s second novel that follows up Justice Rules which was nominated as a finalist in the Pacific Northwest Writers Association 2010 Literary contest.

Tom’s latest book is the mystery/horror, The Siren’s Scream.

As directed, he reached out to unsuspecting, novice realtor Darcy Wainwright. Darcy finds herself intricately involved with the house, its history and the haunting tide pool that filled the backyard. It was the pool that beckoned her, and it was the pool that would decide if she lives or dies. The Siren’s Scream. Available on Amazon.
