Peter is the author of The Primal Saga (The Old Wounds trilogy, The Seasons of Change trilogy, and the upcoming Unravelling Realms trilogy). The Primal Saga is a page-turning fantasy, full of heart-wrenching moments, gripping action and riddles & mysteries aplenty!

Peter was born in the UK but is now in his 25th year in Japan, where he lives with his wife and two sons. He hopes readers will love his characters as he does, fearing for them, crying for them, and cheering for them.

Peter grew up reading Tolkien, Forgotten Realms and Roald Dahl. He played Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, and spent far too many hours on Dungeon Master, Phantasie III and Eye of the Beholder. A fan of 80s films such as Conan the Barbarian, Beastmaster, Red Sonja and Hawk

Let your fingers flow when they can, take a break when they don't. Keep going back to what you've written and hammer away at it. Or chisel away, might be a better image. Your book will take shape if you keep at it. When you can't seem to type anything decent, grab a pencil and notebook and get away from the computer (coffee shop, park etc.). I often find I can write something reasonable (in my exceedingly bad handwriting) and then type it up the next day. Good luck with it! (less)

If I Were A Carpenter…

It has been an age since I wrote a “blog”. An entire age of Middle Earth no less! Last time I wrote a blog Feanor was still in exile. Well, time to tap the keys once more. As I have written, the song “Rasputin” by Boney M is in my Top 5 of all time. I gathered as many covers as I could and wrote a blog. Please seek it out. Your life will be all the better for it.

And today I bring you another of my

This book would make a very decent horror flick, I believe. There's some real tension in the build-up, despite us knowing from the beginning the kind of threat that is out there. The setting (snow and dense trees) where shadows shift makes for creepy ...more

Surprised to find this was a debut. Very well written with good pacing, setting and tension building. There was a good mix of quirky horror (reminded me The Wicker Man), outright gore (author grew up in the 80s maybe??), and unsettling fear. A couple ...more

Finishing this book was like coming home after a journey away - I feel like I've lived in the marsh with Kya. In those pages, I watched her grow, felt her pain and rare moments of joy, and imagined a world I have never seen.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
"My little space-loving heart couldn't handle this book... it has all the wonderful aspects of The Martian but with ROCKY. Lord. Rocky. I don't think I've loved a character like this in ages. If you know, you know.

Lots of nerd science and dad jokes, " Read more of this review »

“If you're stuck with writing, go for a walk. You're sure to get past that block as you take in the outside world.”

“If you're stuck with writing, go for a walk. You're sure to get past that block as you take in the outside world.”
Peter Buckmaster

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
Frank Herbert, Dune
