Born in Waterbury, Connecticut and raised in the Poconos of Pennsylvania, Pete has spent much of his adult life moving around the Northeast in an almost gypsy-like fashion; along the way he fell in love with Boston--during his time residing in the area--and he very much hopes to settle there someday. A self-proclaimed "indie creative" with a focus on writing and game design, Pete's lifelong dream has simply been for recognition of his efforts. His first book, My Best Friend with Wings, is the most personal project he's ever undertaken: a creative non-fiction memoir chronicling his inability to deal with the death of a best friend. Pete believes the telling of this tale has been the most important expression of his life thus far. He's lookin ...more

Pete Jr. Ya know, I hope every time I'm hitting Goodreads' "add friends from twitter" button in order to pick up my new follows it's not spamming previous adds with additional friend requests....

Pete Jr. Only 6 hours left to grab My Best Friend with Wings, a truly unique creative non-fiction memoir (if I do say so myself, and I do), for only .99!

message 10: by Pete

Pete Jr. Woke up to another new review for My Best Friend with Wings this morning! That, along with still being discounted to .99, should hopefully see me push even further up the charts today!

If you've previously read the book and have a brief moment to toss your own review up on Amazon, that certainly wouldn't hurt my chances ;)

Pete Jr. After one day of being on sale, and thanks to a kindly and well timed 5 star review, My Best Friend with Wings is ending its first day of this week-long countdown sale with my book at an all time Amazon rank high of ~23,000 and currently ranked #16 in Death & Grief and #30 in Bereavement; it'll still be priced at .99 through tomorrow, so with others helping to spread the word, it is very likely I can take the #1 spot in both categories... that would be pretty damn amazing.

message 8: by Pete

Pete Jr. Don't know if it was the new 5 star review or the currently ongoing sale, probably both, but my memoir went from an all time low Amazon rank of ~870,000 this morning to an all time high of ~33,000 this evening; and as of this posting, My Best Friend with Wings is #20 in Death & Grief and #47 in Bereavement! Help get me to #1 in those categories, spread the word!

Pete Jr. New 5 star review on Amazon for My Best Friend with Wings, and such perfect timing with the Kindle Countdown Deal still fresh at .99! http://mybestfriendwithwings.com


message 6: by Pete

Pete Jr. The sale is on! Pick up my creative non-fiction memoir, My Best Friend with Wings, today (12/1) or tomorrow for .99! Remember, the price will steadily increase a dollar per day after that until it returns to its regular list price of 5.99, so grab it while it's at its most inexpensive! And, just a reminder, you don't need to own a Kindle to read it thanks to free Kindle reading apps on desktops and mobile devices. Hope anyone who hasn't already picked it up might do so during this sale; the three years I spent working on this book meant a lot to me, but it would mean so much more if others would actually enjoy my efforts... and a sincere thank you to anyone who has.

Hi Barry,

I've only just found you through the Independent Author Network, as I'm trying to follow the majority of still active members through Twitter and here on Goodreads, and as such I have not had the chance to experience any of your work yet; however, having checked out your IAN page, I can say I will definitely be sampling your work!

If you are interested, I offer the first two chapters of my debut work as an excerpt here on Goodreads:
My Best Friend with Wings


Barry  Woodham Hi Pete,
Welcome to my world. May I ask, have you read any of my books? I have 7 on Amazon, all with good reviews. I am a self-published author so I have no other way of promoting my books that hoping that some will get read and reviewed (Amazon all good!)and recommended to be read by others.
I write SF and at age 70 have now written 7 books on Amazon and working on number 8. Look on http://j.mp/QvonDd
