Being One Of The Luckiest Guys On The Planet - Having Love In Your Life

I make my living through an assortment of investments in businesses that I have an interest in, as well as being a best-selling author who has had every hardcover book release put into publication get listed on a noteworthy best-seller list - thought my income from my book earnings for more than a year has been completely donated to the I CARE Foundation that was established to help stop international parental child abduction.

As the Founding Director of the I CARE Foundation, I am very proud of the tremendous work the organization's esteemed Board of Directors and Advisory Board has done thus far in helping reunite or prevent the abduction of dozens of children. Our ongoing research in this are combined with out outreach initiatives to help build a large national pro bono network of attorneys has been very important in the war against abduction. So too has been our legislative and policy initiatives.

Fortunately, I have been blessed with the ability of managing my extensive professional obligations and committments in a way that allows me to also dedicate significant time to the I CARE Foundation and the children and parents we serve.

And I have to say, I would not have it any other way. Why?

Because there is so much genuine love that floats around the foundation.

Seriously. And it is not just with the families we have helped, but equally, this love is shared (and so valued) with other advocates who have stepped up to help these at-risk families.

I can't say how blessed I have become to be part of something so special. In the depths of hell that is international parental child abduction was cast a small but growing family connected by an accuate sense of compassion, understanding, and committment to one another.

I never expected seven years ago for my family to expand the way it has. I never expected to have as many amazing - amazing - nieces and nephews - but I do . . . and knowing that they are safe . . . and knowing that they will never be abducted again is so incredibly rewarding.

Life provides each of us with many blessings. And there is no question I feel as if I am one of the luckiest men on the planet.

Chasing The Cyclone Has Been Hailed As A Book Of Miracles

Thank you for stopping by! As many of you know, I love being a historical fiction writer. My storytelling evolves around topics I find interesting and current to the social dialogue, including subjects such as religion, science, technology, capitalism, and parenting. In each of my novels, several of these issues are typically weaved into the story's plot, with the hope and intent to keep my readers entertained while also providing some interesting historical facts intended to accelerate each story's plot. Like any author, it is my hope to entertain my readers while at times also stirring emotions to create a social reaction the way my novel Chasing The Cyclone has played a key role in raising social awareness of international parental child abduction, including becoming the seed that led to the creation of the I CARE Foundation. Now you may ask yourself, 'How impactful has Chasing The Cyclone been?' Significant. For example prior to the activism created from Chasing The Cyclone, international child abduction in the United States was advancing at a pandemic rate for nearly 30 consecutive years in a row. Then Chasing The Cyclone was released and along with it came a diverse, wide-spread, and highly impactful tools and measures that have remarkably played a heavy role in reducing the rate of international parental child kidnappings in the United States by over 15% per year during fiscal years 2011 and 2012. God willing, the
efforts of the I CARE Foundation and other hard-working organizations will lead to another decline in the IPCA rate originating from the United States while also leading to a much-needed reduction of IPCA in other countries. As far as my writing there is one thing more than anything else that you may be interested in knowing as it is at the core of my storytelling: if you listen carefully, you will hear the voice of a father who loves his son more than words can ever express. Thank you for your support and interest in my writing
and activism. I hope you find my writing entertaining, educational, and that each of my novels stirs your emotions.

I invite you to read a special message about my writing and volunteer work assisting children in crisis. (A Special
Message From Peter)

Remeber - life is filled with magic. Embrace each day to the fullest!

U.S. Rate Of International Child Abduction Drops By 15% For Second Year In A Row

Since the I CARE Foundation's inception, outbound reported cases of international parental child abduction originating from the United States has dropped by over 15%. This is a remarkable accomplishment, particularly when considering U.S. abductions skyrocketed during the previous 30 years. The drop in reported cases of international kidnappings is clearly related to government and non-government organizations efforts to raise society's awareness of abduction, while also creating new laws and policies geared to protecting children: issues the I CARE Foundation has worked hard at accomplishing.
