I admire Peter. Everything he writes strikes me as incredible and deeply nostalgic. He is a writer of great talent and wisdom.
You have to buy his book. It's worth every penny, and you'll enjoy it, I say that from the bottom of my heart.
End your day by buying and reading Peter

I first heard the term "background noise" when I was an extra on a film set for Schwarzenegger's "Last Action Hero" in '93. A cold winter night in Times Square. The stuff we do for the movies.
BACKGROUND NOISE by Peter DeMarco is now available!

Honored by this description from @DoricLiterary and @CourtlandAvenue. Take the whirlwind tour!
“Hold Still” by @PDMwriter is an evocative, whirlwind romp through 70s suburbia, written in a brash, unique, & compelling style. It has everything: thwarted love at the bowling alley, acting classes, a Trans Am, the Bronx Zoo, a disco brawl & so much more.

Thank you to everyone who read "Autopsy Report" and for the kind and touching comments. Honored to be in @EunoiaReview . Here it is one last time. I wonder how those spelling bee kids would handle the unpronounceable nomenclature!

The 1,000 word version was rejected six times. @FiveMinuteLit contest motivated me to pare it down to its 100 word essence.

I won a micro contest! Thank you @FiveMinuteLit and @TinaEhsanipour! The intriguing story is why I was on that plane.

This story was a childhood tragedy I could never let go. After a rejection from @PitheadChapel I worked at finding the right balance between sensitivity and truthful introspection. A year later I resubmitted. Here's the result. Thank you @kimmagowan and Kate Gehan.

Settle back in your favorite movie-watching chair and take a look at my new story "Blue Spruce" in the @litgarage01
What starts with old movies, diner coffee & a faded suburban theater slowly becomes something far more unsettling.
@PDMwriter has written a story that is suburban nostalgia, grief, obsession & something far darker simmering underneath.
