Peter Galarneau Jr. About...

I like to write novels, short stories, novellas, newsletters, how to's, brochures, press releases, advertising copy, research papers, speeches, scripts...you name it...I write it.

I like technology. I am Pete the Geek. My life with tech goes all the way back to the Commodore 64. I'm a proficient software programmer, PC hardware tinkerer, gadget hobbyist and web designer that goes back well before desktop computers.

I am a business owner. My one-man companies, P.T. William Publishing Co. LLC and Mynet have provided extra income that has been necessary to pursue my novel writing dreams.

I am a retired college professor from WV Wesleyan College who taught in the Communication Dept. My research interests include media effects and, particularly the Agenda Setting Theory, all very relevant to society today.

I love sports, all of them. I am closely connected to the athletics at WV Wesleyan where I volunteer my time as Sport Photographer . Currently, I am the Sports Information Director at Wesleyan.

I love to road cycle. My Cannondale has taken me to some of the neatest places in WV. There's really no better way to experience this beautiful state. So many of my stories came into existence while on a ride.

I love animals. I adopt and find homes for strays. I try to volunteer in these efforts when I can.

I am 90% vegetarian. I do still like fish and seafood, and dive into an occasional WV pepperoni roll or chicken sandwich.

I hate fast food. Nuff said.

I love to garden. I have a 36 x 48 foot garden that I try to tend throughout the summer (when most of my novel writing takes place). There's nothing better than tomatoes and cucumbers right from the garden. Mmmmmmm.

I really dig astronomy. Before I transitioned into the world of communication studies, I was an astronomy hobbyist, complete with star maps, telescopes and a starry imagination.

I am lots of things...no BS...not from me. I hate that.
