edit data

Born into a blue-collar family in Liverpool, England, Pete immigrated to the US in the early 90s and settled in North Carolina.

He has led a haphazard life, putting bread on the table as a plumber, computer programmer, salesperson, marketing executive, hotel operator, real-estate developer, and llama breeder.

Pete loves chickens and dogs, and writes fast-paced fiction that makes people think.

Quotes by Pete Barber (?)

“In the half-reclined bed, Yaz slept, mouth open, snoring—probably doped. Mike turned on the TV. For twenty minutes, he watched retired generals on CNN discussing Afghanistan and troop surges as though they knew what the hell war was all about.”
― Pete Barber, When A Warrior Comes Home

“This was the part of war they didn’t tell you about—that your man might return scarred and broken, haunted by what he’d seen and been asked to do.”
