Kevin looked around and walked to the side of the trail. He crouched and lay the white rose on top of a small rock, said something that Sarah could not quite hear, and then stood, staring down at the rock and the rose.

About the Author
Born in Northern Ireland at the same time Johnny Mathis held the UK number one chart with When a Child is Born (a coincidence, we assure you), Peter was first published at the age of 17 in the Simon & Schuster anthology Children of the Troubles, edited by Laurel Holliday, and followed in quick succession by numerous other publications. The Camel Trail is his first novel.
Peter moved from Ireland to London in 1997 and, in 2010, fell out of the rat race for a quieter life in Yorkshire. He lives and works from home and is currently working on his third novel.
