Brought up in Northern Ireland, William Peskett read natural sciences at Cambridge University. He has been a biology schoolteacher and a journalist and has worked in marketing, design management and corporate relations. Now retired, Peskett lives in Pattaya, Thailand. His love of writing began with poetry and Peskett published two volumes, The Nightowl's Dissection and Survivors – the first of which won an Eric Gregory Award. These were followed by two novels, Pond Life and Losing Yourself. Peskett’s adopted country of residence provides ample material for his observation: recent essays and short stories deal with issues in a distinctly Thai setting.
