FAQ

Psychology, Philosophy, Theology and Addictions Studies.

Peter: I always get asked…what the heck are those books about? Where did the idea(s) to write them come from? Well, you start off by blaming Sigmund Freud! LOL Freud coined the concept “Penis Envy” which has been around for the better parts of 2 centuries now. I thought Freud was brilliant in some of his theories! He nailed many of his theories well before the advancement of any media, let alone modern technology. So many of his theories apply today. In my book Penis Envy, I took Freud’s theory one step further and applied it to men instead of women who he originally intended it for. In modern society, men and guiltier of possessing penis envy based on research. Conversely, I came up with Breast Envy! Freud has nothing on me there! Actually, sex therapist and author Dr. Debra Laino and I wrote the book Breast Envy to look at how women co-exist and compete with each other in today’s world.

Peter: Fast Food Dating is a two tier project. Firstly, it was the title of a book I started working on last year. Friends of mine liked the premise; interviewing dating service providers, consumers of the services and seeing where things led as far as relationships go. There was so much interest, we decided to start production on a video version documentary.

The book which is now out is based on the hundreds of interviews we conducted across Canada as well as the USA. Perhaps one of the greatest highlights was presenting it at a singles night at the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) in Toronto where there were “hundreds” of singles attending and getting the chance to meet so many of them and interviewing them.

Peter: I actually wrote Fear Factors back in the early 90’s when I was a Master’s degree student. I used to write to escape scholastic projects. I enjoyed writing and I have always enjoyed old shows like The Twilight Zone so I thought I would create my own rendition in Fear Factors. Fear Factors is actually based on the evil humans do to one another. Sure, I would call it a combo of horror/sci-fi/erotic fantasy, but underneath the “window dressing” and monsters lurks humans. I write about the bad things we do to ourselves and are afraid to accept or admit we are capable of doing them. I also loved the TV show The X-Files as it was very awesome to watch. It’s interesting but some of the stories in Fear Factors and my latest novellas In The Shadows reflect the characters Mulder and Scully to a degree with a more Alfred Hitchcock slant (Hitchcock movies have always been my favourite in terms of writing inspiration.)

Peter: Well, the title of the first few printings was originally called Women Want What They Can’t Have. Because I went with another publisher, we decided to change the title a bit and also there was more content added to the book. The title itself was given to me by a female colleague who asserted “women want what they can’t have when she was referring to relationships. I liked the quotation, so I thought I would create the title as such.
