About Peter

Peter W. Costigan is the author and creator of The Legend of Jack book series, the merchandise store Gotjack?, and soon, the children’s book series The Adventures of Jack. Born in Boston, he now resides on the South Shore of Massachusetts. A licensed contractor for over 35 years, cook/chef for over 15, and a graduate of seminary school, Peter had become a “Jack of all trades.” For more than a decade Peter has been pursuing yet another career brought on by a simple toy – you know who: that fool who springs out of the box.

The book, The Legend Begins, is the result of that persistent pursuit of writing the story behind this “box occupant.” Peter’s goal, and the theme of Jack’s story, is to help show people that it is not only possible to think outside the box, but cause some positive change as a result. Now, being close to retiring his tools, he has immersed himself in his characters and is determined to take you on a fantastical journey. Travel along with a boy who by no fault of his own was thrust into a life of danger, loss, and eventually renewal, as he searches for answers to his past and finds his true place in the ever changing world he lives in. As soon as you open book one you are taken to a different world where you can get lost and forget the one around you, and doing so, refresh the human spirit!
