Peter Zander-Howell (a pen name) lives with his wife in East Anglia, U.K. They have three children and four grandchildren.
Deciding to get out of the rat-race, Peter took very early retirement from his management role in a very large company. Then, far too young to retire completely and wanting to keep his mind occupied, he started a small and successful business. Twenty years later he sold that business, and has now embarked on a third career as an author.
During his first two careers, Peter served as a magistrate for thirty-four years.
