Born and educated in London, Peter Foreman taught English to overseas students, mainly in Italy, where he has travelled extensively. CIDEB, an Italian publisher of educational books, brought out several collections of his short stories for students, as well as stories of true crime and adventure, all of which sold well. The Italian publisher Mondadori has now taken over CIDEB. Oxford University Press published Peter's ghost story "The Mystery of Allegra", based on the fate of Byron's daughter. These books include the main areas of interest in his work: the bizarre and humorous, the supernatural, fantasy, crime, and semi-autobiographical tales.
His collection of strange stories, entitled "Tarantella", and five novels are presently available as Kindle e-books and paperbacks, as well as a collection of essays and poems entitled "The Joker is Wild", and "Battersea Boy: A Journey from Backstreet Boy to Writer", an autobiographical narrative of Peter's troubled relationship with his father and his boyhood in south London, his schooldays and travels as a teacher of English. "Pisuktuk of the Arctic: The Untold tale of Frankenstein's Creature" tells the story of an ancient giant shaman who has travelled the Arctic for generations. The discovery of his true identity by a ruthlessly ambitious young Englishman leads to tragedy. Peter's second novel is entitled "Aurelie", and it is a romance with a supernatural element set on the island of Alderney during the Nazi Occupation.
"England No More", is a dystopian fiction set in 2084 when England is under the yoke of a ruthless, brutal regime called the Righteous Party. It describes the experiences of Len Deakin, a freedom fighter who is captured and forced to undertake an assassination job. Instead, he goes on the run, but is recaptured and endures a battle of wits with Eugene Melchior, an interrogator, who is intent on making him convert to the Party on the scaffold at his execution.
His next novel has the title "Corinna Please Come Home" in which Peter tells the story of a beautiful and talented young woman who is kidnapped and suffers a tragic fate.
"One Fond Kiss" is a novel about Sylvia an ageing woman who as a schoolgirl kissed her teacher Lewis Manston causing his dismissal. She goes in search of him after discovering he died young. What she finds out brings about her death, and her daughter Stella takes over the search. She meets Lewis's son and falls in love, but tragedy is in store for both.
Peter has just finished "Count Calabresi", a novel about the relationship between an Italian count and a biographer who discover two ancient Greek bronze statues in the sea. Their enigmatic beauty holds a secret that threatens to destrop all those involved in the discovery.
He is now working on a new novel "Waiting for the Asteroid" which concerns a group of people waiting for a disaster that may never happen but which gives them a new purpose in life.
