Born in Cheshire, Peter Longton spent his formative years growing up on a farm in the village of Heatley Heath. He worked in an office for most of his adult life, but now spends his time indulging his passions through writing. Peter is an avid Doctor Who fan, but he also harbours a deep love of Venice and for the Cheshire countryside where he grew up. Venice features heavily in his first novel as does his childhood home and the farm he grew up on. Heatley Heath is a real village, albeit with a few literary elaborations!
