Peter Burke, Writer

✣ Planet Books Northbridge ✣

Spotted at Planet Books face up to show Fabrice and his silk moths!

We love independent bookstores like Planet that really support local writers. Buy Silky Boy from a real bookshop!

As a writer I specialise in a fresh retelling of the stories that Western Australians thought they knew. The pearlers of Broome. The CY O’Connor tragedy. And now, the Spanish Benedictine monastery at New Norcia.

My books are enjoyed for their filmic nature and ironic humour, but my secret aim is really to seduce the reader into learning and reflecting a bit on the history of the western third of the continent. It’s a history little understood even by the folk who live here, and different to anywhere else on earth due to its vastness and remoteness.
