Peter Bayley’s Biography

I was born in London's East End and grew up in Essex, where I still live.

I've been writing copiously all of my life, mostly for business marketing purposes. I completed my first novella in October 2019. It's called UNPLANNED - a totally fictional story with fictional characters - drawing on the experience of my decades of working - mostly for high-tech companies - in sales, marketing and business development roles. I later worked as a consultant, helping other companies to launch, sell and distribute their technology products and services with a strong brand and a highly focused marketing strategy - at least, that was the aim. For each client, it was about understanding and telling their brand story. So, I've taken the basic writing advice of "write about what you know"!
I write business and social commentary regularly, most of which gets read through LinkedIn (https://tinyurl.com/yxpd6ezs)

Each chapter of UNPLANNED has a rock music title and there is a Spotify playlist linked to the book. I enjoy rock, blues, jazz and pop music.

A generous aunt bought me my first vinyl album at the age of eight (I still have it) and my love of music - live and recorded - has been a lifelong one. Completely devoid of any innate musical talent (despite a couple of guitaring attempts), my broad musical tastes continue to bring me pleasure, relaxation and inspiration for my writing, as in the case of SOUNDTRACKS.

SOUNDTRACKS is a collection of 12 music-inspired fictional short stories. It came about after I had planned out three possible ideas for a second novel. I decided that none of them would bear the weight of a full novel, but could make a short story. I then added the rest. The collection presents a wide range of genres: Sci-Fi; Noir Thriller; Contemporary Fiction; Post-Covid-19-pandemic Drama, Character Study and Psychological Drama. It also comes with a Spotify playlist of the pop, rock, jazz and blues tracks that inspired each story.

I write for fun. I hope my readers find it to be exciting writing and get some enjoyment from reading what I have written.
