I’m a foodie

By Peter Colt / March 3, 2025 /

If you haven’t figured it out by now I am a bit of a foodie. I like to cook and I like to eat good food. I grew eating food that was always a little bit different from what my friends were eating. My mother and grandparents were from Ukraine and the Slavic diet was…

It’s been busy

By Peter Colt / February 23, 2025 /

It’s been a busy week. I’ve got a book coming out in a few weeks. We’ve updated the website to reflect that. There’s a whole bunch of promotional stuff that goes along with it. I just finished the copy edits on the new first book in the new series and then there’s all the life…

Anticipation

By Peter Colt / February 8, 2025 /

It’s funny the things we look forward to. Tomorrow is Superbowl Sunday, I have a book coming out, and we are supposed to get a wikkid big snow storm for the first time in a few years. Most of America will be thinking about and looking forward to Superbowl and the Superbowl parties. I can’t…

Bender

By Peter Colt / January 29, 2025 /

In my house he was either referred to as uncle Steve or simply by his last name Bender. Though there are numerous Benders, Steve’s five children, his wife, and other relatives, we only meant him. Uncle Steve was the guy who the time to cook us gourmet meals or talk about literature or wine, subjects…

Colder than…

I am a husky, Slavic gentleman of a certain age. Not surprisingly I am not a fan of the summer months. The heat and humidity conspire against me, leaving me feeling like Superman when under the rays of the red sun or too close to Kryptonite. In fact the only good thing that I can…

Holiday not holiday

By Peter Colt / January 14, 2025 /

Ask anyone close to you and they will tell you that I am a bit of curmudgeon. I hate that Christmas music starts playing on November 1st, instead of after Thanksgiving. While it is a person’s right to put up Christmas decorations well before Christmas, it’s not for me. I have been known to put…

January

By Peter Colt / January 4, 2025 /

I like winter. I know that many people don’t. They can’t stand the cold and the darkness. It isn’t just the long nights/short days, but even the days themselves seem darker. It can be depressing here in New England in winter. Today was the first really cold day after a week of relatively warm weather.…

Christmas came and went

By Peter Colt / December 30, 2024 /

Last week was Christmas. We stayed home Christmas day and enjoyed a quiet day as a family. There was a fire in the hearth and rather than make a fancy dinner, my Long Suffering Wife and I opted for something easier. Fancy cheese from the cheese shop in Providence and fancier bottle of champagne. It…

Holiday Message from Andy and Me

By Peter Colt / December 25, 2024 /

We wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, or great (insert your holiday of choice here). I’ve been lucky enough to write the Andy Roark books and share them you. Friends, family and fans. 2024 has been a good year. If it’s been good it’s in no small part due to you, your…

Soup

By Peter Colt / December 21, 2024 /

It snowed yesterday. Which is funny because I am pretty sure it was sixty degrees at some point last week. But, yesterday it snowed. Not a lot, there’s an inch or so of the white stuff on the ground, classing the place up. It’s cold outside tonight, in the low, low twenties and sure to…
