The Writer: Jonathan Peterson

Storytelling has always been an integral part of my life. Growing up as the son of a Lutheran minister, I was introduced early to mythic morality tales and larger-than-life figures that shaped my imagination. I wrote my first book at 23 and my first script at 25. Since then, my journey has taken me through a wide range of creative endeavors: writing numerous television pilots, screenplays, a stage play, poetry, and even attempting a children’s book. Each adventure has been a chapter in my lifelong passion for storytelling. Go to bio
