Biography
Peter J. Wacks was born Jebediah Jason Zarathustra Janney Shults, then was quickly reminted the next day to a saner name on his second birth certificate. After that intro, he never really established normalcy in his life. Peter (or Zarth, whatever, it’s cool) has traveled to thirty-seven countries, hitchhiked across the United States (very funny, no, he didn’t hitchhike to Hawaii), and backpacked across Europe. He loves fast cars, running 5Ks, space travel, and armchair physics. In the past, Peter has been an actor and game designer, but he loves writing most and has done a ton of it, which can be found by looking him up online (even if it seems a little cyber-stalkery, don’t worry, go for it!) Since he doesn’t think anyone reads these things anyway, he will mention strawberry daiquiris, Laphroaig, great IPAs, and really clever puns are the best way to start conversations with him. Are you still there? The bio is over. Go read.
