Author Bio
Peter Cruskall has been an avid reader of contemporary fiction for many years. He has read in excess of five hundred books in the past decade particularly from such globally successful authors as James Patterson, Lee Child, David Baldacci, Tara Moss and Stella Rimington.
In early 2020, being semi-retired, and with Melbourne plunged into lockdown, Peter needed to discover new activities to occupy his time and maintain his sanity. He decided to challenge himself, put pen to paper and embark on a new journey as an author. Uncharted Waters is his first book along that journey.
