Bio: Peter Greene was born in New York and spent his young life on Long Island and later, moved to Illinois in the Chicago area. In college, he won an Illinois Art Council grant for his touring play "Watermeyer". After graduating from Illinois State University with a BA in Theatre Education, he moved to California and had some success co-writing screenplays, having one optioned by 20th Century Fox.
During over 40 years of working in the business world, he was a technical writer, a technical salesperson for supply-chain software, and a founding director of PETsMART, Inc. He continued to write short stories and screenplays during this time.
In 2010 Greene self-published the young adult sea-faring adventure "Warship Poseidon," the first book in the "Adventures of Jonathan Moore" series, which won the Adventure Writers Competition's Clive Cussler Grandmaster Award and the Action-Adventure Book of the Year from the Independent Author Network, among other awards. He followed with book two, "Castle of Fire", which won two Independent Author Network Finalist Awards for Action/Adventure and Historical Fiction. The third book of the series, "Paladin's War," followed a year later and won the Chanticleer International Book Award for Historical Fiction. The entire Jonathan Moore series then won the Chanticleer Dante Rossetti Award for Young Adult Fiction Series.
"I loved all the writings of Patrick O'Brian, Robert Louis Stevenson, and C. S. Forester, especially the sea-faring tales," said Greene. "As a youngster, I struggled with the extensive jargon that exists in these wonderful books, most requiring companion guides just to understand what was happening. I respect that knowledge greatly and applaud authors who serve that style, however, for children, young adults, and the uninitiated, that complex and often confusing jargon kills the action--and the addiction. So I set out to bring that adventure and style to a new audience. The Jonathan Moore Series does not get bogged down in explanations and terminology. Yes, one does learn probably more than one term, but you learn as the characters of Jonathan and Sean also learn."
The entire "Adventures of Jonathan Moore" series is now available as audiobooks, all narrated by the award-winning actor and author Chris Humphreys.
Greene’s new science fiction book, "Light of Ganymede" has been released and is available on Amazon. The book has won First Place Finalist in the Chanticleer Cygnus Awards, is a Reader Views Shelf Unbound Top 100 Book of the Year, and is a Book Excellence Award Science Fiction Finalist. Greene continues to finish the Glasśigh of Ganymede Trilogy.
Now retired from the business world, Greene is writing full-time, fishing, and napping. He writes for and performs with the band Parthenia Apartment, each show is thankfully rare and lightly attended.
