Peter H GreenIn his career as an architect, Peter has witnessed enough close calls, suspicious acts and outright skullduggery to lure him into writing mysteries. He also loves to delve in history. Find out what secrets he finds hidden in the past, buried undergrond or decided out of the public eye by the obscure figures in charge of cities' critical infrastructure. A writer, architect and city planner reared in a family of journalists, Peter found his father's 400 World War II letters, his humorous war stories, his mother's writings and his family's often hilarious doings too good a tale to keep to himself, so he launched a second career as a writer. After years of architectural work and proposal writing for his design firms, he went back to Washington University to study creative. His father's amusing antics and serious achievements of his father's military adventure, Ben's War with the United States Marines, and his first Patrick MacKenna Mystery, Crimes of Design, were republished in 2014 by Greenskills Press. A new Patrick MacKenna Mystery, Fatal Designs, is forthcoming in early 2015. Peter earned a Certificate in Creative Writing and Bachelor of Architecture degree from Washington University, St. Louis, and a B.A. from Yale University. He served as Vice President, Programs, for St. Louis Writers Guild from 2009-2014 and still serves on its Board of Directors. His is a member of Sisters in Crime, St. Louis Publishers Association and Missouri Writers Guild. His design organizations include the American Institute of Architects, American Planning Association, American Institute of Certified Planners and the Society of American Military Engineers, where his is a past St. Louis Post President and Fellow.
