Peter Young is the author of two books, The Blue Team, a novel which was originally released in 2016, and Stop The Tall Man, Save The Tiger, a memoir published in 2023.

Peter played college basketball at George Washington University and loosely based The Blue Team on his experiences playing for the Colonials. After his playing career ended, Peter briefly coached basketball before embarking on a career as a sports broadcaster. Working for ESPN, CBS, OLN, and other networks, Peter traveled the world covering everything from college basketball and football in the US, to rodeos in Canada and adventure racing in Morocco.

Stop The Tall Man, Save The Tiger chronicles Peter's experiences in a tiny but destructive religious cult.
