PHCC Alumni Spotlight

By Lynn Rothman-Venus
Director of Marketing and Public Relations

 

PHCC alumnus and novelist Paul Peters has fond memories of PHCC faculty, particularly Kay Cramer, his creative writing professor. On the dedication page of his first published novel Stormbound, Peters has written a dedication to Cramer, calling her “a wonderful teacher and mentor.”

Peters’ successful career is even more commendable in light of the fact that he dropped out of Springstead High School in 9th grade.

“The dedicated instructors on the North Campus gave me not only the abilities and knowledge to succeed,” says Peters, “but more importantly, the support and confidence I needed at that time in my life.”

Peters served as Student Government President on the North Campus 1992-1993 and graduated with an AA degree in 1993. He went on to earn a BS from Florida State University and a MS from Nova Southeastern University.

Today, Peters teaches World History and World History Honors at Apopka High School in Orlando, Florida. Stormbound is his first novel and is available for purchase on Amazon.com. He is presently working on two other science fiction genre projects: The Coming Storm (a sequel to Stormbound) and a new novel entitled, The Earthman Cometh.

“I will always be grateful to Pasco Hernando for giving me a second chance to work towards my dreams.”

Local man publishes science fiction novel

Gotha resident Paul Peters recently published his first novel titled Stormbound.

This work of science fiction involves time travel and an endeavor to save the planet and all of humanity.
With only two weeks left before the end of the world, Gordon Greer is brought out of forced retirement for the desperate mission. Greer and a young operative are sent into the past to find Robert Maryk, the only man who can unravel a mystery and escape disaster. He possesses a temporal vessel called STORM that will allow them to get close enough to the moment of Earth's destruction to investigate and prevent its extinction.

Peters was born in London, Ontario, Canada, and earned an AA degree from Pasco Hernando Community College. He holds a bachelor's degree from Florida State University and a master's degree from Nova Southeastern University.

He taught social studies and history at Lakeview Middle School from 1998-2001. From 2001-2004, he taught United States history at Gotha Middle School. Currently, he teaches World History and World History Honors at Apopka High School.

He is currently working on two projects: The Coming Storm (a sequel to Stormbound) and a new novel titled The Earthman Cometh.
