The first adult author with whom RW Peake developed a long-term relationship was Louis L’Amour, whose body of work shaped his life philosophy. After retiring from the Marines, RW proceeded to earn a BA in History from the Honors College at the University of Houston.
Although RW wrote a novel as a kid, he didn't publish his first novel until age 50. In addition to is time in the Marines, and before the tech bubble burst in 2000, he was a paper millionaire in the software industry.
A native Houstonian, RW recently relocated to the Olympic Peninsula of Washington, where he lives with his yellow Lab, Sadie.
Wow!!! Another fantastic entry in what I believe is the best series of historical fiction. Peake’s characters are as nuanced and flawed as real people and his story telling is top notch. I truly can’t wait to read the next volume of the Pullus saga. Bravo!
