About Me

Peter Quinton: I live on the edges of the wilderness near the Australian alps with two cats. I dream old tales and wild places. These days I am an Australian writer, lawyer, farmer, photographer and wanderer. I spend my time searching out waterfalls and writing stories about the past and the future.
