 Welcome to the webpage of Peter Andrew Smith   






I like to write...
I've always enjoyed reading fiction and writing stories. Normally,  I write speculative fiction -  science Fiction, fantasy or even horror on occasion. Sometimes what I write is light and humorous while at other times it is dark and gritty. It all depends on the time of year and what strikes my fancy.

I also write non-fiction material which also ranges in variety and mood.

Using the name Peter Andrew Smith...
When I started submitting for publication, I considered using a pen name for some of my work since it was so varied. I  decided it would be just too confusing for me to write under various names. So everything, the young adult fantasy stories to the very dark horror stories goes under the one name. 

When I branched out into writing non-fiction and devotional materials I continued to use my full legal name. Of course when your name is Peter Smith you do have to add something to stick out from the crowd. It's mine so I may as well use it.


What others have said about my writing...

"A Time For Everything" by Peter Andrew Smith is an excellent
story. A black man, condemned to a prison run by a malicious
machine named Cyclops for mu
rdering a group of racists, must
orient a young neo-Nazi into hell-like prison life. The unique
mood and setting creates an interesting flavor that instantly
won me over. A lot of cool Sfnal elements keeps things spicy.

"Peter Andrew Smith presents an interesting way for humans to
out-think the aliens in the universe in "The Fine Print" a
Campbellian tale of oneupsmanship when the aliens attempt to
have the humans make good on the usurious loans they've been
required to accept..."

- Stephen H Silver at SF SITE

"Peter Andrew Smith's "Bully for You"...The length for this tale
about an invading Fleet Lord is exactly right, the tone hitting
just the right note of wry humor, and the last line made me laugh
out loud.
"
- Sherwood Smith at Tangent Online
