PETER MACDONALD BLACHLY grew up in Washington, DC, the youngest of five children. His parents provided him with piano and guitar lessons from a young age, as well as a private school education made possible in part by a scholarship he earned as a boy soprano in the choir of the Washington National Cathedral. Peter was deeply influenced by his childhood summers, which were spent on a primitive island in Maine where he learned to live “off the grid.” His first memoir, The Stone From Halfway Rock, documents those formative early years. The multiple skills developed in his youth have led him through a varied career that has included journalism, home construction, energy efficiency consulting, environmental advocacy, and music. Although he had left the Sikh community with only one year of college under his belt, he eventually continued his education— earning a Masters Degree in Environmental Studies—and served as executive director of a number of non-profit organizations. After moving to Maine in 2008, he and his wife, Johannah Hark- ness, collaborated together to write and produce a rock opera, One Way Trip to Mars, which was most recently performed at the Waterville Opera House in Maine. Peter and Johannah now live in Bath, Maine with a large collection of guitars, keyboards, boats, outboard motors, pet cats, ducks, and a covey of quail. He can be reached at peter@peteralexander.us
