Peter Hodgson is a Western Australian author with a traveller’s heart, a smartarse’s mouth and a hyperactive toddler’s curiosity.
Peter’s debut novel, Fly Out Day, draws heavily from his life experiences and his love of horror, action-adventure, and post-apocalyptic fiction.
Blending zombie horror with haphazard survival and a healthy dose of Aussie humour, Fly Out Day is a uniquely gripping story that will make your heart race, your stomach twist and your soul cringe.
Peter spent most of his twenties job-hopping across the map and taking on roles in polarising industries—from isolated FIFO mining contracts in the WA outback to seasonal work for Canadian heli-ski operations and eco fishing resorts. This patchwork of experiences forged an adaptable and capable mindset and sharpened his larrikin wit. Pete now lives south of the river and bounces back-and-forth between the Pilbara—and anywhere with mountains or snow.
He finds joy in the simple things and finds focus in the chaos.
Be it adrenaline-fuelled mayhem overseas or simply coasting along on his CT110 postie bike along the foreshore. In his downtime, he is usually elbow deep in three different projects or just trying to keep his lawn alive.
He is currently hammering away on his keyboard, smashing out Torn Apart, the Fly Out Day sequel.
