My name is Bob Mack Peak. I’m the oldest of six Air Force brats, educated in Germany, London, and fifteen US states. I was reared in the art of storytelling by my wonderful family—tracing back to great-grandfather Olaph from Denmark. I would often read comic books while eavesdropping on Grandpa Mack’s Friday night poker games. Though I grew up on a farm in Missouri, I longed to see the world. In this regard I was inspired by my mother, Lucille, and father, an Air Force officer who survived WWII and traveled the world.
