Peter LingardAs an English youngster, Peter Lingard told his mother fantastic tales of intrepid adventures enjoyed by him and his friends. She always said, 'Go tell it to the Marines'. When he asked why, she said, 'They've been everywhere and done everything, so hey'll want to hear about what you've been up to'. Peter joined the Royal Marines as soon as he was old enough. A decade later, his military career drawing to a close, adventure still called. Peter emigrated to the tough business life of New York where he lived for 25 years before uprooting again, this time settling on Australian shores. More than 300 of his stories and poems have landed in more than 60 magazines, E-zines, radio shows, and performances. Ruffians, Rogues and Romantics is Peter's third published book.
