Peter C Bradbury

Biography

Born near Manchester, England, I became a Butler in 1985. After working in many very large homes, I moved to California in 1994 after marrying my wife, Debbie, who is from San Francisco.
I started writing because I was always being asked, "What is it like to work for wealthy people?" I turned some of my experiences into a novel, and called it Stonebridge Manor.
Since that first book, which is a murder mystery, I have written thrillers and I have just finished my fifth book.
I write in a very entertaining style, whatever the subject, and I hope you enjoy them.
I still have family in the UK and in the USA, and I enjoy football (soccer) and golf.

Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in a small town called Shaw, which is north east of Manchester in England. The youngest of four children, I have two sisters and a brother, our mother mostly raised us alone, especially me.
I think that influenced me in that I know how hard it is to raise children alone. Added to what my mother had to contend with, my gran had to come and live with us after she had a leg amputated.
When did you first start writing?
It took me a long time. I liked to write when I was in school, but I left school early and didn't pursue writing. Working as a butler, I was often asked what it was like, but I was in my forties when I started writing. I wasn't happy with the direction of the book so I left it for a long while, and when I lost a job during the recession I started on it again and it became Stonebridge Manor.
