Peter Crowell’s Summary
Mythopoedia.com is an interactive story Web site showcasing my first two publications (Silverlance and Haunted Mountain) and will serve as the future venue for the rest of my work, and that of of other authors. I'm currently reworking the audio version of Silverlance.
The project plan includes an online community, a creative and educational resource for kids, parents and teachers, an audio component, and options for e-book and print-on-demand formats.
Silverlance and Haunted Mountain have sold 5,000 + copies nationally through Borders, Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com and independent bookstores.
My writing and editing experience extend from creative fiction to Web articles, Web site content, SEO content, trade articles, and B2B customer facing marketing collateral for various industries.

Mythopoedia.com (formerly Peter T. Crowell Publications) is an online, interactive story Web site showcasing my first two publications (Silverlance and Haunted Mountain) and will serve as the future venue for the rest of my work, and that of of other authors.
The project plan includes an online community, a creative and educational resource for kids, parents and teachers, an audio component, and options for e-book and print-on-demand formats.
Silverlance and Haunted Mountain have sold 5,000 + copies nationally through Borders, Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com and independent bookstores. I wrote, edited, proofread and published both novels, then selected, hired and oversaw editors, proofreaders, contributing artists, designers and offset printers.
I also independently managed all product pitch, retail store placement and national author tours. I also narrate and produce the serial audio podcast version of Silverlance which is available at iTunes. -
