BIO
Peter Schmotzer is a commercial airline pilot flying Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft and the author of Unplanned Connections and Wading Through Static. He earned his Master’s degree from Kent State University and has long balanced aviation with a commitment to storytelling across multiple forms.
His fiction explores the emotional consequences of pivotal life choices, particularly within families shaped by love, sacrifice, and time. He is drawn to stories that ask what might have been — and what it ultimately takes to live with the answers.
In addition to his novels, Peter has developed a screenplay adaptation that reimagines one of his stories through the lens of classic rock-era music, expanding his interest in narrative structure and cross-media storytelling.
Peter lives in Ohio with his family and writes primarily in the evenings, when the house is quiet and the runway lights are far away.
