W. Peter Elliott

W. Peter Elliott was born in Toronto.

After graduating college, he became a marketing representative in the global fashion textile industry and eventually moved to Montreal. During this period, he was also very active with a charitable community theatre group raising funds for children's medical needs. It was through this association that he met the woman who became his wife.

They moved to a small city on the shores of Lake Ontario to begin the next chapter of their lives together and started a family, which was the inspiration for writing The Magic Sleigh Bell. His whimsical contemporary tribute to family, Christmas traditions and believing in Santa Claus became a National Bestseller in Canada with its print edition, an amazing accomplishment for a self-published, seasonal book.

The year 2026 marks the 30th Anniversary of the publishing of the print edition of The Magic Sleigh Bell. To mark the occasion, an updated contemporary cover was designed for the eBook edition, for a new generation of readers to enjoy on a variety of devices.

A true believer in the magic of Christmas, Peter is currently, as always, preparing for the upcoming Yuletide season.
