Peter was born on December 31, 1939, at 7.30 a.m. Two hours later, he came unexpectedly to his brother. At the end of World War II, he was diagnosed with epilepsy. This had a significant negative impact on his education. Yet, he was the best at writing essays at school. As a 14-year-old, Peter wrote his first reports for his father's local newspaper. It didn't take long before he also started journalism. Through several newspapers, he eventually came to AD in Rotterdam, the second-largest national daily in Holland. After coming here, he specialized in energy and macroeconomics. Later, he became chief of the economics desk. After his retirement, Peter became a town councilor in his village, gave juristic aid to refugees, and was a trainer and coach of the youth team of his chess club. Peter married in 1968 and had two children with his wife. She died in 2014. Four years later, he remarried a woman from Vietnam. They live in The Hague, Holland. His first wife set him up in 2011 to write about his years as a double agent. That triggered me to write more, particularly fiction in very different genres.
