Peter Moore

Peter Moore was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, about which P.T. Barnum famously said "A sucker is born every minute." He has held various positions as a writer, illustrator, ghostwriter, co-author, radio host, TV guest speaker, editorial consultant, and journalism lecturer. He received a degree in English from Bates College in Maine, then took off for France after graduation. After he’d had enough of footloose post-collegiate shenanigans, he landed a job writing all of American history for a publisher in New York, then worked for technology/futurist magazine called NEXT, then he worked for a movie magazine called MOVIEGOER in Knoxville Tennessee, where he met his wife, Clare. Next he was called up to the big league of publishers and worked for Playboy Magazine, eventually becoming articles editor. After that, he spent twenty years at Men's Health magazine in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, finishing up as vp/editor before they laid him off. While at Men’s Health, Peter wrote a feature article called “A Tale of Three Hearts,” which garnered the magazine’s first National Magazine Award, The industry’s equivalent of an Oscar. Peter is an avid mountain climber, backpacker, skier, basketball player, bicyclist, yogi, international traveler, illustrator, and cook. And he can juggle. (Of course he can!). Peter’s blog is Road2Elsewhere.com.
Claire was born and raised in Bethany, Connecticut. She is an editor of books and articles about gardening and birds.

The couple lived in Emmaus, Pennsylvania for 20 years. That is where they raised their two sons who now live in New York City and Denver. After Peter was laid off, the couple began traveling the world (Nice, France) and the U.S. (Key West; Portland, Maine; Boulder, CO; and then finally, Fort Collins, Colorado, their new happy home. They epically drove west in May 2017, arriving in a Colorado snowstorm! Peter says it was quite a journey.
