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 murdering 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..."
"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."
And of course many thanks to
Meredith for putting up with me and my writing...
