Peter Wacht

Peter Wacht (Col ’92 CM) published The Lost Kestrel Found, the sixth book in his fantasy series The Sylvan Chronicles, on August 20. It reached #1 on three Amazon Best Seller lists within the first 24 hours of its launch. Wacht put pen to paper soon after graduating from UVA and around the same time his son was born–more than 22 years ago. The series appeals to fantasy audiences of all ages with a combination of magic, adventure, and sword and sorcery. The books of Sylvan Chronicles series may be purchased on Amazon and you can learn more on the author website www.kestrelmg.com. 

“This is a dream of mine dating all the way back to when I was a kid and was introduced to fantasy literature,” says Wacht. “Although I enjoyed the stories I was reading, none were the story that kept playing through my mind. No matter how much I read I couldn’t find that story, the story I wanted to read about where a young boy must rise above himself in order to fight an ancient evil. So I decided to start writing.”
